UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have a script that iterates through all the users that have logged in to the system for the past day and pulls out their role(s), adding them to a file.

The iteration part is working just fine, but the issue I have is with the result. When I do the LDAP query, the results I get are:

Code:

version: 1
dn: uid=1234567890,ou=People,o=test.system.com,o=testsystem
pdsRole: faculty
pdsRole: employee
pdsRole: student

I am only specifying that I want pdsRole as the returning variable, but I get the version and dn on each response.

Is there a way to get JUST the pdsRole?

Thanks!

I dunno how you are executing your ldap query, but try:

Code:

ldapsearch [options] | grep -v -e 'version' -e '^dn'

*palm forehead* I was so focused on using ldapsearch that I didn't bother to even consider this.

Thanks - that did the trick.
