Test

• getent passwd # This should show the local passwd and also the ldap entries.
• id username # This should show the groups of the user
• ldapsearch -x '(uid=username)' # All info on user, Check presence of ldap
• ldapsearch -ZZ ..... # Make sure the encryption works as well.

Add User Account

• 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.
• More info to be extracted from LDAP server: env HOME=/root ldapsearch '(uid=maurik)'

LDAP manipulations

• Print directory of all available maps: ldapcat -x
• Print a particular map: ldapcat <mapname>
• Manipulate the user accounts: See adduser-npg
• Change something: lusermod --shell /bin/tcsh <user>
