It is a small command line tool written in perl that allows you to easily check the existence of LDAP entries based on huge lists.
For example, if you got a CSV file containing employeeNumbers and want to see if there is an LDAP entry for those employees in
your corporate directory or AD, this tool is what you need.
What can it do?
It can do:
Reads filter arguments from STDIN (any format)
Builds dynamic LDAP filters from that arguments
Writes search results to STDOUT in either human-readable or CSV format
Because of STDIN and STDOUT, happy piping is possible, so any input and output format is supported
Online operation via LDAP protocol, no need for intermediate LDIF files
How does it work?
It is very simple since it runs from command line. Just download it and call it without
parameters. This will give you all options that can be set.
Calling it with the "-h" parameter even gives some more advice.
Additionally, you can find a more detailed documentation in the release package describing the internals.
Basicly, it reads a line from STDIN, builds a dynamic LDAP filter and searches with that filter. If an entry
is found, its DN is printed to STDOUT, if not, a message is shown instead.
