pdadmin script

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello all,

I would need a scirpt to perform the following operation:

  1. I would like to give a spreadsheet as input with 3 columns with firstname,lastname,userid in order
  2. The script should read from the spreadsheet and search if each user exists in particular groups "Group1" by using the command user show-groups userx and grep for group group1.If user has group1 then continue with the following commands :
  • pdadmin -a sec_master -p XXXXX user modify userx password passwordx
  • pdadmin -a sec_master -p XXXXX user modify userx password-valid no

or

If the user doesnt belong to the group group1 then do the following commands:

  • pdadmin -a sec_master -p XXXXX group modify group1 add userx
  • pdadmin -a sec_master -p XXXXX user modify userx account-valid yes
  • pdadmin -a sec_master -p XXXXX user modify userx password passwordx
  • pdadmin -a sec_master -p XXXXX user modify userx password-valid no

The values of XXXXX,group1,passwordx should be requested when the script is run.

This is not a free script writing site "come and get you dreams filled." What have you done to make this script happen?

i have tried a bit as follows but wondering if there is a easier way:

#!/usr/bin/perl

#Clears Screen
$CLEAR=`clearscreen`;
print $CLEAR;

#Set LDAPDomain
$DOMAIN="ou=people,o=xxxxxx,c=us";

# Collect user name
print "Please enter user file >>";
$FILE=<STDIN>;
chomp($FILE);

#print "Please enter the user's First Name>>";
#$FNAME=<STDIN>;
#chomp($FNAME);
#print "Please enter the user's Last Name>>";
#$LNAME=<STDIN>;
#chomp($LNAME);

# Collect Groups
print "Please enter groups to add user too, Seperated by a comma(,)>>";
#$GROUPS=<STDIN>;
#chomp($GROUPS);
#@GROUPLIST=split(/,/,$GROUPS);
#$USERNAME=~s/\n//;
#$GROUPLISTCOUNT=scalar(@GROUPLIST);
#print $GROUPLISTCOUNT;

#Collect Admin Username
$SEC_USER=<STDIN>;
chomp($SEC_USER);
#$SEC_USER=~s/\n//;
$COMMAND4=`pdadmin -a $SEC_USER -p $SEC_PASS user create $USERNAME cn=$USERNAME,
$DOMAIN $FNAME $LNAME $PASS_RESET`;
$COMMAND5=`pdadmin -a $SEC_USER -p $SEC_PASS user modify $USERNAME account-valid
yes`;
$COMMAND6=`pdadmin -a $SEC_USER -p $SEC_PASS user modify $USERNAME password-vali
d yes`;
