9.3.4.5.2 NonPOSIX accounts and groups
If you use ldapuglist with the -F option, ldapuglist displays users and groups that are not
posixAccounts or posixGroups. Thus, these entries might not contain the required fields that store
POSIX account and group information (such as the uidNumber attribute). When displaying these
entries, the specified fields are missing from the output. As nonPOSIX accounts and groups are not
required to contain POSIX attributes, use of the -L option might result in unexpected output. Data
between the “:” characters may be empty, such as ”::x:::”.
9.3.4.5.3 Encoding of the DN
ldapuglist displays DN strings according to the encoding rules defined in RFC4514. The escape
character “\” precedes special characters, which may be the character itself or a 2-digit hex
representation of the character.
9.3.4.5.4 Passwords
In some cases, ldapuglist cannot access the user or group password fields. This can occur in
the following cases:
• The ldapuglist tool has insufficient privilege to access the password field.
• The passwords are not used to authenticate users (such as when X.500 certificates are used).
• The password is not stored in the LDAP directory server. The password might be stored in a
third-party repository such as a Kerberos Key Domain Controller.
• The password is stored in a format that cannot be parsed by HP-UX (such as {SSHA}, the
Salted Secure Hash Algorithm).
If the password is not available to ldapuglist, ldapuglist does not display the
userPassword field. If you specify the -L option, the password field will contain the “x” character.
9.3.4.6 Specific return codes for ldapuglist
The ldapuglist tool returns a list of return codes shown in Table 28.
Table 28 Return codes for ldapuglist
MessageReturn Code
Search operation failed.LST_SEARCH_FAILED
The <attr> parameter may not be used when the -L
option is specified.
LST_COMMANDLINE_ERR
The requested input options cannot be specified at the
same time.
LST_COMMANDLINE_ERR
The “maxcount” value must be greater than 0.LST_COMMANDLINE_ERR
The specified search base is too long.LST_SEARCH_BASE_TOO_LONG
The specified search filter is too long.LST_SEARCH_FILTER_TOO_LONG
The attribute mapping evaluates to an empty search filter.
For example,
ldapuglist -t passwd -f "(gecos=)"
The output of the command displays the
“LST_ATTR_MAP_EMPTY” error because the gecos values
are not specified in the command line, ldapuglist
evaluates the gecos attribute to an empty search filter.
LST_ATTR_MAP_EMPTY
