Let's face the fact, assigning iPrint printers in iManager, especially if the users are in a different container than the iPrint Printer, can become very tedious and time consuming. First you have to wait for the browse window to choose a printer, then wait for the browse window to browse for the users or groups, and finally select all of your users. Well what if you had 5 executives that needed to have access to every Xerox Printer in the organization and these printers existed in multiple containers? Let's say there were 35 of these printers. This could take hours. I'll demonstrate how to do it in less than 5 minutes.

In computing there are two terms which are often confused: encoding and enciphering. One of them, with 'cipher' in its name, usually best refers to something that is cryptographically enciphered which means it was mathematically mangled in a fashion that the result, regardless of the input, is fairly random, patternless nonsense to the un-key-assisted eye. The other term refers to simply changing data from one form to another at is basic level. One type of encoding is 'base64' encoding, which is used through many areas of computing and can be explained much more-simply than most cryptographic cipher functions (in my opinion). This article is to show how, on many levels, Linux Just Does That.

Over the past couple of months, I have been involved with migrating remote NetWare servers to Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES2) Linux. During this time, there are some lessons that have been learned that hopefully this article will be able to help you, the reader, perform your own migrations more smoothly and avoid some of the pitfalls we encountered.

Jarek Gawor's excellent LDAP Browser/Editor v2.8.2 - though last updated in 2001, still one of the best! All previous download links seem to be broken, so here's a refresh for all who prefer superfast and minimalistic tools like me.

A pair of php scripts which can be used to make LDAP changes from a csv file.

This PHP script takes any delimited text file as input and converts the records within that file to any output format you desire such as LDIF, SQL or another delimited format. All you need is the attached PHP script, the source delimited text file with headers (first row defines column names) and a template file which you create to describe the output format for each row in your source delimited text file.
