How the Tool Works

The Pin Generator allows you to generate PINs for user entries in an
LDAP-compliant directory and update the directory with these PINs. To run the
setpin
• The host name (
• The bind DN (
• An LDAP filter (
For example:
setpin host=laiking port=19000 "binddn=CN=Directory Manager"
bindpw=netscape "filter=(ou=employees)" basedn=o=example.com
This command, if run, will query the directory for all the entries that match the
filter criteria, which in this case is all users belonging to an organizational unit (
called
standard error. Additionally, to the standard output or the file named in output;
see "Output File" on page 53.
You can also provide the tool with an input argument using the
argument must be in the form of an ASCII file of pre-prepared DNs and PINs (see
Figure 5-1). Note that the input file is not a substitute for the LDAP directory
entries; the filter attribute must still be provided. If an input file is provided, the
tool updates only those filtered attributes that match the ones in the input file. For
more information about the input file, see "Input File" on page 51.
