The preferred method of user account creation is the script on einstein:

env HOME=/root  /usr/local/bin/adduser-npg 

You can also manipulate the tables from Improv with the program JXplorer.

 ldapsearch -x '(uid=maurik)'	

Print directory of all available maps:

ldapcat -x

Print a particular map:

ldapcat <mapname>
