Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.8 Administration Guide (14233)

Note:
In the following examples, the -b branch and -f input-file options (which are not shown)
can also be used.
To use a search filter to find groups:
ldap_get_group -s filter
To use a search filter with object class restrictions added to the search:
ldap_get_group -S filter
A search filter might look like the following:
gid=staff
(&(gidNumber>=10)(gidNumber<=20))
Note:
You must quote the filter string in accordance with your shell.
To retrieve a range of groups (where start is the starting GID in the range and end is the
optional ending GID in the range):
ldap_get_group -R start[-end]
If you do not specify end, the search retrieves users from the starting GID to the highest GID in
the LDAP directory server.
To retrieve specific groups:
ldap_get_group group [ group ...]
4.4.11 Setting a User's Password in the LDAP Directory Server
As root, you can set a user's password in the LDAP directory server by using the ldap_passwd
utility:
ldap_passwd loginname new_passwd
The ldap_passwd utility attempts to clear the local ldapcd daemon's cache.
4.4.12 Starting the ldapcd Daemon
Use the ldap_enable utility to configure the system to use the LDAP caching daemon (ldapcd)
with the existing ldapcd.conf configuration file.
You can also start the ldapcd daemon using the Administration utility; see Section 4.2.3: Enabling
and Disabling the LDAP Module.
Note:
Whenever you enable or disable the LDAP Module for System Authentication, you must reboot
the system. Otherwise, some applications (such as cron and Advanced Server for UNIX) will
not detect the change in authentication method.
4.4.13 Stopping the ldapcd Daemon
Use the ldap_disable utility to stop the LDAP caching daemon (ldapcd) and configure the
system so that the LDAP Authentication will not be used.
You can also stop the ldapcd daemon using the Administration utility; see Section 4.2.3: Enabling
and Disabling the LDAP Module.
