Question # Table Maybe???
hey guys I am creating Users in LDAP.
Problem is when I create a User they need to have a uidNumber and a gidNumber and they need to be unique.

the command i issue is:
ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=beasty,dc=netlab,dc=albury,dc=tafe' '(objectclass=posixAccount)' uidnumber|grep uidNumber

which prints out:

uidNumber: 1001
uidNumber: 1064
uidNumber: 1004
uidNumber: 1073
uidNumber: 1002
uidNumber: 1005

Is there a way/script that will automaticaly add in the users uidNumber and not use the same one that had already been created.
so then is will add it to my ldif file
uidNumber:

gidNumber:

You can try this:
Code:
newuidnr=$( ldapcommand bla bla ... uidnumber | awk '/uidNumber/&&$2>t{t=$2}END{print t+1}')

Which will add 1 to the highest uid so far (uidnumber is LDAP speak Smilie )

hey Scrutinizer thanks for all your help but i am still a bit confused...
this is what i got
#Edit UDI
print
"Hit enter to display a list of users and what UDI/GID have been used.\n";

my
$Enter2= <STDIN>;

my
$UIDNumber= (

"ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=beasty,dc=netlab,dc=albury,dc=tafe' '(objectclass=posixAccount)' uidnumber|grep uidNumber"
);
system
"$UIDNumber";

print
"Enter Users UDI/GID Number other than specified above (eg.1001).\n";

my
$UDI= <STDIN>;

chomp $UDI;

which then falls into

my
$stuff= <<LDIF;
dn: uid=$UserName,ou=$OU,ou=$OU2,$DC3
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: shadowAccount
uid: $UserName
cn: $LastName $FirstName
givenName: $GivenName
mail: $UserName\@$Email
sn: $FirstName
uidNumber: $UDI
gidNumber: $UDI
homeDirectory: /home/$UserName
loginShell: /bin/tcsh
userPassword: $b

dn: cn=$UserName,ou=$OU3,ou=$OU2,$DC3
objectClass: posixGroup
cn: $UserName
gidNumber: $UDI
description: Private group for the \"$UserName\" user"
LDIF
open
MYLDIF, ">", "init.ldif";

print
MYLDIF $stuff;

close MYLDIF;


how do i use the command above is it something like
"newuidnr=$(
ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=beasty,dc=netlab,dc=albury,dc=tafe' '(objectclass=posixAccount)' uidnumber|grep uidNumber
| awk '/uidNumber/&&$2>t{t=$2}END{print t+1}')"

Hi, like this, I'd say:
Code:
newuidnr=$( ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=beasty,dc=netlab,dc=albury,dc=tafe' '(objectclass=posixAccount)' uidnumber | awk '/uidNumber/&&$2>t{t=$2}END{print t+1}')

you can leave out the grep and you should not use the double quotes at the beginning and end.

ok i got one more question lol.
i want to create a directory for a user but make it work for whoever logs on so this is what i issue

my
$whoamI= ("whoami");
chomp


$whoamI;
my


$Add_User= ("mkdir /home/$whoamI/users");
my


$Add_ldif= ("mkdir /home/$whoamI/users/init.ldif");
chomp $whoamI;
and is seems to not work

but when i want to use it for adding my Ldif file like this:

#Load file into the LDAP server
my


$LoadFile= ("ldapadd -U $whoamI -w password -f init.ldif");
system $LoadFile;
it does work but comes up with the "$whoamI"
