So sometimes, I get the terminology wrong ;-) Anyway, here goes... I have been tasked with recording the DN when a user logs in. At first, I used the Open Directory API to query for the "dn" attribute (I was using Active Directory, which has such an attribute). But, then I noticed that when I am using 10.3.x, I was not getting the dn. But both 10.3 and 10.4 both had the distinguishedName attribute. So, I used that and everything worked fine. But, then I realised that this was incorrect. openLDAP does not have this kind of attribute and what I needed to do is get the dn of the entry that I am looking for. In openldap, we do something like this (doing this from memory, not sure I got it 100% correct): searchldap -LLL "uniqueID=1006" where uniqueID is the uid of the user logged in. We then parse out the dn. How can I accomplish the same using the Open Directory API? --joubert _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
