Since my talk with Robin on Thursday regarding the autogenerated userinfo.xml, I finally found some time today to get all the info’s I need out of userinfo.xml.
Since I don’t really want to manually enter all those mail addresses from userinfo into LDAP manually, I figured sed might be my best friend. *BUT* sed ain’t easy .. But thanks to Fabian and Gilles, I learned something new about sed today ..
Basically I searched for a way to transform userinfo.xml into a datafile for ldapedit.
As most of you know, userinfo.xml would look like this:
So the first step would be to simply use egrep on userinfo.xml to filter only the things I needed ..
That looks more like a processable list to me. Now I only needed to convert the into dn, the into mail and be done with it.
This is what I applied on top of the above filter:
And that’s it, I just need to check the dn’s for all the users, and when I’m done with that, finito!
