A pair of php scripts which can be used to make LDAP changes from a csv file. These scripts were written for an eDirectory implementation, and the "home directory" feature will only be useful on that platform. We use it principally in conjunction with data moves from server to server, and so the home directory functionality is important. It also provides a simple and easy to use means of manipulating LDAP directories without the complexities of more powerful and sophisticated tools. Its also handy if you need to update or restore any attributes quickly.

To use it place a csv file containing two columns, one the cn attribute and the other A N other LDAP attribute, on the web server and run up the main web page. Supply administrator details, server name and some other items and then the application matches unique CNs and modifies the other attribute with the provided value. Duplicated CNs are skipped. The base OU can be changed as well so that where duplicate CNs exist the right one can be chosen.
