Unix alternative for LDAPAdmin

  • 772

I am looking for a Unix alternative for LDAPAdmin(Windows). Our OpenLDAP runs in Solaris and I can't browse it directly from Windows due to firewalls which won't be relaxed. Currently I use crude JNDI programs(ran from Solaris) to fish out data which we want.

I cannot directly query OpenLDAP in Solaris due to user permissions which are lacking and won't be granted. Thoughts? :)

[Btw no GUI necessary. I access Solaris thru Putty]

  1. The openldap utils should be helpful for this. I use ldapsearch and ldapmodify. Just make sure you install the ldap client and ldap utilities packages as well.

  2. If you want to access your LDAP tree from a shell, you need shelldap! It gives you a history-keeping tab-completing directory interface to an LDAP server, and most importantly, it's fun to say. (Shelldap! Shelldap! Shelldap!)

    If you have a local X server (like Xming) & SSH forwarding, you can always run GUI programs remotely. I can highly recommend Apache Directory Studio though on Solaris you will probably need to install it as an Eclipse plugin.
