Export ZS users to external LDAP server, etc…

[paulo_m]

Hello,

This is actually a double question.

1)
We’ve just added a new NAS to our network; on that NAS we have an LDAP server running. I’d like to EXPORT all the users that we have on our ZS box to the LDAP server — is this possible?

2)
Ultimately, the idea is to get ZS’s RADIUS to use the external LDAP server (on the NAS) for authentication. I believe that this is possible, but all the reading and testing that I’ve done so far has simply drained my limited brain power… 🙂 Can anyone provide some good pointers on how to achieve this so that I can try to get back on track?

Many thanks in anticipation for any support.

Hello.

I’m working on a way to do selective backups…

You can easily extract from ZS LDAP using the command ldapsearch.

This one will show all the categories:

> ldapsearch -x -b ‘dc=yourdomain,dc=tld’ ‘(ou=*)’ ou -S ou | grep ou:
(the final ‘:’ is expected).

Result:

---

ou: Aliases
ou: Computers
ou: DNS
ou: Group
ou: Hosts
ou: Mounts
ou: NAS
ou: Netgroup
ou: Networks
ou: People
ou: Protocols
ou: Radius
ou: Rpc
ou: Services

---

For your (1) the users are in People:

> ldapsearch -x -u -b ‘ou=People,dc=yourdomain,dc=tld’ -S uid
(if I remember properly, uid looks pertinent for People to sort on).

Hope it can help.
Best regards.

Many thanks for the precious feedback and apologies for the delay in acknowledging this. I’ll try this out now.
