ldapugdel(1M).
• ldapuglist
You can use the ldapuglist tool to display and enumerate POSIX-like account and group
entries that reside in an LDAP directory server. The ldapuglist provides features that
allow users and applications to discover and evaluate account and group information stored
in an LDAP directory server, without requiring extensive knowledge of the methods used
to retrieve and evaluate that information in the LDAP directory server.
The ldapuglist tool uses the LDAP-UX profile configuration, requiring minimal command
line options to discover where to search for user or group information, such as the LDAP
directory server host and proper search filters for finding users and groups. The ldapuglist
tool also uses attribute mapping defined in the profile to translate information to POSIX
syntax. By default, ldapuglist only displays POSIX-related attributes using RFC 2307
attribute names unless you specifically request an attribute list with the <attr> option on
the command line. This tool provides command options that enable you to alter these
configuration parameters.
• ldapugadd
You can use the ldapugadd tool to add new POSIX accounts and groups to an LDAP
directory server. ldapugadd makes use of user and group template files that allow
ldapugadd to discover the required data model for the types of entries being created. These
templates may define arbitrary data models beyond just the required POSIX attributes.
Non-interactive applications can use the ldapcfinfo tool to discover the attributes required
by the templates that are not part of the standard POSIX data model. To use ldapugadd,
you must provide LDAP administrator credentials that have sufficient privilege to perform
the user or group add operation in the LDAP directory server.
This tool provides command-line based options that allow you to add the user or group
entry with the following information:
For POSIX Accounts
— User's full name
— User ID (account name)
— User ID number
— User password
— Primary group membership
— Home directory
— Login shell
— Gecos
— Comments
For POSIX Groups
— Group ID (group name)
— Group ID number
— Group members
— Comments
• ldapugmod
The ldapugmod tool allows HP-UX administrators to modify existing POSIX accounts or
groups in an LDAP directory server. When using extended options, you can use ldapugmod
to modify arbitrary attributes for user or group entries or you can extend existing user or
group entries with the POSIX data model. To use ldapugmod, you must provide LDAP
