NAME


getent.ldap - query information from LDAP

SYNOPSIS


getent.ldap [options] [DATABASE] [KEY]

DESCRIPTION


The getent.ldap command can be used to lookup or enumerate information from LDAP. Unlike
the getent(1) command, this command completely bypasses the lookups configured in
/etc/nsswitch.conf and queries the nslcd(8) daemon directly.

getent.ldap tries to match the behaviour and output of getent and the format in the
corresponding flat files as much as possible, however there are a number of differences.
If multiple entries are found in LDAP that match a specific query, multiple values are
printed (e.g. ethernet addresses that have multiple names, services that support multiple
protocols, etc.). Also, some databases have extra options as described below.

OPTIONS


The options that may be specified to the getent.ldap command are:

-h, --help
Display short help and exit.

-V, --version
Output version information and exit.

DATABASES


The DATABASE argument may be any of the supported databases below:

aliases
Lists or queries email aliases. If KEY is given it searches for the alias by name,
otherwise it returns all aliases from LDAP.

ethers Lists or queries ethernet addresses. If KEY matches the format of an ethernet
address a search by address is performed, otherwise a search by name is performed
or all entries are returned if KEY is omitted. Unlike getent, getent.ldapd does
support enumerating all ethernet addresses.

group Lists or queries groups. If KEY is numeric, it searches for the group by group id.

group.bymember
The KEY is a user name and groups are returned for which this user is a member.
The format is similar to the group output but the group members are left out for
performance reasons.

hosts List or search host names and addresses by either host name, IPv4 or IPv6 address.
This returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (if available).

hostsv4
Similar to hosts but any supplied IPv6 addresses are treated as host names and only
IPv4 addresses are returned.

hostsv6
Similar to hosts but KEY is treated as an IPv6 address or a host name and only IPv6
addresses are returned.

netgroup
List or query netgroups and netgroup triples (host, user, domain) that are a member
of the netgroup. Unlike getent, getent.ldapd does support enumerating all ethernet
addresses.

netgroup.norec
Similar to netgroup except that no subsequent lookups are done to expand netgroups
which are member of the supplied netgroup and the output may contain both other
netgroup names and netgroup triples.

networks
List or query network names and addresses. KEY may be a network name or address.
This map can return both IPv4 and IPv6 network addresses.

networksv4
Only return IPv4 network addresses.

networksv6
Only return IPv6 network addresses.

passwd Enumerate or search the user account database. KEY may be a user name or numeric
user id or be omitted to list all users.

protocols
Enumerate the internet protocols database.

rpc List or search user readable names that map to RPC program numbers. Searching by
KEY can be done on name or rpc program number.

services
List or search the mapping between names for internet services and their
corresponding port numbers and protocol types. The KEY can be either a service
name or number, followed by an optional slash and protocol name to restrict the
search to only entries for the specified protocol.

shadow Enumerate or search extended user account information. Note that shadow
information is likely only exposed to the root user and by default nslcd does not
expose password hashes, even to root.
