I am surprised I havent tripped over this before. ldapsearch b ou=people, etc. uid pwdChangedTime mail Wanting to e-mail people with expiring passwords. I am counting on 4 lines for each person Dn: UID: pwdChangedTime: mail: in this exact order but on the last one (which happens to be me, perhaps because I was the last one to change my password), my mail attribute was returned before the pwdChangedTime attribute which would cause me to re-write the code to handle randomness of order of the output. Do I have to re-write my bash script?
Yes, you have to handle arbitrary order. => I'd recommend to use a better scripting language with a decent LDAP module for tasks like this.
If you insist on using a shell script look here: http://ltb-project.org/wiki/documentation/ldap-scripts/checkldappwdexpiratio...
I have no personal experience with it though.
