How to use the OpenLDAP LDAP Email Query Service
|
|
|
|
By sending electronic mail to the address:
|
|
|
|
ldap-query@example.com
|
|
|
|
you can access the campus LDAP Directory. The Directory contains
|
|
information about all faculty, staff, and students of the University,
|
|
including phone numbers, mailing addresses, job titles, email
|
|
addresses, and more.
|
|
|
|
To query the service, send a piece of email to this address with a
|
|
command similar to:
|
|
|
|
find <name>
|
|
|
|
e.g. find robert jones
|
|
|
|
somewhere in the Subject: field or anywhere in the body (text) of the
|
|
message. You will receive a reply that contains information about the
|
|
target of your query (in the above example, you would get information
|
|
on all "robert jones" who are at the University). The <name> can be
|
|
a person's full name, last name, or uniqname. An search for exact
|
|
matches is first tried; if there are no exact matches, an approximate
|
|
search (using soundex rules) is done.
|
|
|
|
If your query matches exactly one person, you will receive detailed
|
|
information about that person. If more than one is matched, a list will
|
|
be returned that should hopefully provide you with enough information
|
|
to be able to determine which individual you really want. Another
|
|
query can then be made to obtain the detailed information.
|
|
|
|
This service understands a number of synonyms for the "find" command,
|
|
including: "whois", "search", "look up", "show." You can also send
|
|
a message with the word "help" in it to get this text returned to you.
|
|
|
|
Note that this service is entirely automated -- no humans will respond
|
|
to requests or other email sent here.
|
|
|
|
We would appreciate any feedback you can provide.
