It appears that the the utilities /usr/sbin/luseradd, /usr/sbin/luserdel, and /usr/sbin/lusermod are intended to be used to add, delete, and modify users from the directory. Unfortunately they don't seem to work in our LDAP environment. Here are some alternative suggestions. For more detailed information see the LDAP page.

GUI Applications

There are a couple of graphical applications for managing LDAP databases.

  • Luma is a QT-based LDAP management application for Linux written in python. It should be available on all NPG workstations. Instructions for user management with Luma are [[1]].
  • Jxplorer is a java based graphical application for browsing and managing LDAP databases.
