hi...

i have a question that i need to solve for a possible research project for a
class next semester.

i'm looking at creating a test system of faculty across universities, to
demonstrate some various methods of data mining/web services/etc...

however, when i look at the umich website, i see that i can access the umich
ldap server, but i have no (0) experience in querying an ldap server!!

i'm trying to figure out how to construct a query for the ldap server using
either a http url, or using the ldapsearch app (on a linux box) to allow me
to get faculty for a given affiliation/dept...

i tried using the following but got an error:
ldapsearch -h ldap.itd.umich.edu -b "cn=faculty,ou=User
Groups,ou=Groups,dc=umich,dc=edu" "(affiliation=Urban Planning - Faculty and
Staff)"

most of the college sites that i've looked at provide a search/query
function that allows me to search by faculty/dept. but dealing with ldap
server queries hasn't cropped up until now!

any help/thoughts/comments or actual examples/pointers would be greatly
appreciated...

thanks

-bruce
