Just a simple BASH script to load users.
#!/bin/bash
FILE_WITH_NAMES="names.txt"
LDAP_SRV="localhost"
LDAP_PORT="389"
ADMIN_DN="cn=admin,ou=sa,o=system"
ADMIN_PASSWD="novell"
USR_BASEDN="ou=users,o=data";
USR_PASSWD="novell";
LDIF="/tmp/bulkuser.ldif"
cat $FILE_WITH_NAMES | while read line
do
#trim trailing white space and clean
fullname=`echo $line | tr -cd '[:print:]\n' | sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/ *$//'`
stringarray=($fullname)
fn=${stringarray[0]}
sn=${stringarray[1]}
#replace spaces with .
CN="${fullname/ /.}"
echo "dn: cn=$CN,$USR_BASEDN" > $LDIF
echo "cn: $CN" >> $LDIF
echo "uid: $CN" >> $LDIF
echo "fullName: $fullname" >> $LDIF
echo "sn: $sn" >> $LDIF
echo "givenName: $fn" >> $LDIF
echo "Language: ENGLISH" >> $LDIF
echo "userPassword: $USR_PASSWD" >> $LDIF
echo "objectClass: top" >> $LDIF
echo "objectClass: user" >> $LDIF
ldapmodify -x -h $LDAP_SRV -p $LDAP_PORT -D "$ADMIN_DN" -w $ADMIN_PASSWD -a -f $LDIF
done
Input file (names.txt) should contain a full name on each line e.g.
Boyce Deforge
Allan Giard
Niesha Orozco
Fran Garneau
Valda Wotring
