I need a web form that a user can enter something unique (DOB, ID, etc.)
then the backend (cgi,perl, whatever) will search my directory and return
their uid. I can script everything using ldapsearch on the command line
and use cut, etc. however, I am lost on how to pass the user input to the
ldapsearch variable then return the results in a web page. Anyone doing
this?
I was out of town, so sorry I'm late to the party. I've got a web
framework that can get you what you ask. For instance, it just takes
these three lines:
http://www.mentata.com/ldaphttp/examples/bigten/context_umn.txt
To get this:
http://www.mentata.com/ds/retrieve/umn/inetorgperson
(Note: UMN has a large population and narrow directory search limits, so
try more obscure name for best results)
You can tweak the context file to accommodate directory configuration,
customize your people objects with your own subclasses, rename
attributes with new label properties, add a stylesheet or header/footer
HTML, and change web pages by overriding the search or display JSP.
Among other things.

Simple is subjective; I understand if my solution is not what you want,
but it works well for me. For more, see:

Let me know if you want to give it a spin and need any assistance.
