To be more efficient, here's what I want to do :
I've made a script wich generates automatically disclaimers (or
signatures) using an AD database to search users attributes : name,
surname, telephone number...
I've made a command like this :
ldapsearch -LLL -C \
-h 'DC.DOMAIN.LAN' \
-b 'ou=OU_NAME,dc=DOMAIN,dc=lan' \
-D 'CN=binder,OU=OU_NAME,DC=DOMAIN,DC=lan' \
-w 'BINDER_PW' \
'(sAMAccountname='A_USER_NAME')' sn \
| sed -n -e 's/^.*sn: //p'
With this command, I catch the "sn" attribute of a user. This command
only works if the sn dosen't contain special caracters. If it does, I
had to use "sed" like this : sed -n -e 's/^.*_sn::_ //p'
With the "sed" command, I only take what is after the "sn:" or "sn::" to
only have data I want.
The result of this command is sent in a variable of my script I use
after to make html and txt signatures.
This scripts works perfectly, only when an attribute I catch have a
special caracter.
What you said is a good track for me. What I "only have to do" is to
search if the line contains one or two ":". If there's one ":", I don't
have decode, if there's two":", I have to decode.
Are you OK with me ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Nicolas,
Are you sure that no results are returned? Can you show the output of a
ldapsearch cmd-line tool? I saw that in the result values are encoded if
they contain non ASCII chars.

Yes, I wrote it in a previous answer.
The result is base64 encoded if "-t" switch is not used, or sent to a
temp file if this switch is used. But in both cases, I can't use the
result "as is" without another manipulation, but i'm stuck..
Thanks

I think, the encoded attributes have a double colon '::'; do a test like this:
$ /usr/bin/ldapsearch .... | fgrep ::
...
attributeMailText:: U29ycnksIEknbSBvdXQgb2Ygb2ZmaWNlIHVudGlsIEF1Z3VzdC
$ echo U29ycnksIEknbSBvdXQgb2Ygb2ZmaWNlIHVudGlsIEF1Z3VzdC | mmencode -u

Sorry, I'm out of office until Augus
