LDpathFind

Finds out LD path for an object from any unique property

An empty string is returned if there are no match or more than one match (first three matches are displayed in log window).

Use the LD path with Linux commands such as Lin.DS.Op.Init

A connection must be established with Lin.DS.Logon before LDvalue can be used.

Requirements

·	Linux server with OpenLDAP 2.0 or higher, configured to accept SSL connections on port 636.

·	A locally installed SSL certificate.

LDpathFind (Container, ObjectType, SearchFilter, IncludeSubContainers)

Container

Full LD path to container to search

ObjectType

Type of object to find

Example: posixAccount, posixGroup etc.

SearchFilter

Format property=value

Examples

SearchFilter Description cn=steve The object "steve". sn=steve The object with surname "steve" homePhone=1234567 The object with telephone number "1234567" mail=steve@acme.com The object with email address "steve@acme.com"

The easiest way to find out correct property names for accounts is probably to use SetupExplorer, see How to display all existing properties for one account.

IncludeSubContainers

· Yes - objects in subcontainers should be included in search

· No - objects in subcontainers should not be included in search

Use Container=BaseDN and IncludeSubContainers=Yes for entire tree.

MessageBox ldpathfind(dc=com/dc=my-domain,posixAccount,uid=root,yes)

Displays "dc=com/dc=my-domain/ou=users/uid=root"
