Examples

To populate a database with 1000 user objects create a file template.ldif containing:

objectClass: top
objectclass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: shadowAccount
sn: user[A]
cn: user[A]
givenName: user[A]
description: description[A]
userPassword: password[A]
mail: user[A]@example.com
uidNumber: 1[A]
gidNumber: 1[A]
shadowMin: 0
shadowMax: 99999
shadowInactive: 30
shadowWarning: 7
homeDirectory: /home/uid[A]

This can now be loaded to the database using:

ldclt -h localhost -p 389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -b "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -I 68 -e add,commoncounter -e "object=/tmp/template.ldif,rdn=uid:user[A=INCRNNOLOOP(0;999;4)]"

Using these created users you can test binding to the accounts with:

ldclt -h localhost -p 389 -e bindeach,bindonly -D uid=user0XXX,dc=example,dc=com -w password0XXX -e randombinddn,randombinddnlow=0,randombinddnhigh=0999 -e esearch -f "(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=user*)(uidNumber=*)(gidNumber=*))"
