[Fosiul Alam]

Hi thanks

i am thinking to create ldif file by script .. but i am quite confused
how the ldif will be for my structure..

when i do the ldap search i get this


ldapsearch -xZZ -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w 'testtest' -b
"ou=users,l=uk,dc=fosiul,dc=lan"  uidNumber=1000
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <ou=users,l=uk,dc=fosiul,dc=lan> with scope subtree
# filter: uidNumber=1000
# requesting: ALL
#

# falam, users, UK, fosiul.lan
dn: uid=falam,ou=users,l=UK,dc=fosiul,dc=lan
givenName: Fosiul
sn: Alam
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 1000
gidNumber: 6000
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: posixAccount
uid: falam
cn: Fosiul Alam
homeDirectory: /home/falam
userPassword:: e1NTSEF9MkpYSGI2bSs3OFk5SlcySG1kOVcxdjFVUFVHMVA3eXI0dFQvZ2c9PQ=
 =

# search result
search: 3
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1


So Suppose if i want to create a user call "John Smith"

what would be my ldif ??

Thanks for the help.
