Hi All!
Guenter, thanks again for all the work you've done
creating those scripts listed on your website
for use to use and modify.
I never would have been able to get started with out
them.

I have things working really well. Now I would like to
add one more piece. Currently I have a script/web page that
can be run from a web browser. It ask for username/context
and volume. You can lookup the current quota then
change the quota or you can reset the users' password.

In our environment we have two trees. 1 Tree (FILETREE) is the file
sharing/print tree, each user account is the users' lastname.
The other tree (LDAPTREE) has a specific ID number for each user
that we use for LDAP authentication to many other web based services.
A while back we made it a point to take the ID from the LDAPTREE
and add it to the FILETREE. Now everytime we create new
accounts in the FILETREE we're sure to add the ID from the
LDAPTREE. So after we have the ID in both trees, we have a web page
that a user can reset their password and the password is changed
on both trees. Therefore, we have single signon. Sort of.

What I would like, is on the web page I have created, I would like to
be able to put in the user ID, not the lastname, and have the script
be able to search NDS for that ID, then return the
Distinguished Name (dn) to be used in the script for looking up
quota or changing quota.

I've looked at the LDAP scripts, but those need TLS to be disabled
in order to work. Is there a way using UCS, or VFS to scan/search
for a ID for a user?
Thanks

Hi Brad,
I found my old stuff again (was on an older server install inside VmWare,
argh!), but unfortunately I was wrong, and the stuff where I was
experimenting with object IDs was with printer-related stuff...
I've just asked the UCS developers if its possible at all, and hopefully we
will next week know for sure if its possible at all what you need...
sorry, but was extremla busy the last days...

Guen.
