Re: Retrieving information from Active Directory

[Aaron Anderson <aaron@echostar.ca>]

To use LDAP search against a LDAP directory, you have to do the following:

If your active directory name is domain.test.com then

ldapsearch -W -D "cn=administrator,cn=users,dc=domain,dc=test,dc=com" -x
-h <ip of ad box> -b "cn=users,dc=nexus2k,dc=psynch,dc=com"
"(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=*))"

That should list all of the users.
