Hi I am very new to openldap so i need some help on that suppose i created one group and added users as a member but when i am searching a user i am unable to find user's group name? in which attribute we can find user's group name can anyone help me to get group name of a user?
Assuming you have created a tree structure like:
dn: cn=group_name,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com ... cn: group_name member: uid=user_name,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
A search like this should return groups (cn's) that reference a user (dn):
ldapsearch <bind options> -b "ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com" \ "member=uid=user_name,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" cn | grep '^cn:'
Depending on how you have deployed your ldap infrastructure, i.e. you have installed an nss ldap shim, you can find unix group membership with:
groups <user_name>
