14.2.1 SLAP Tool Example

The following Perl application definition, created for the example organization discussed previously, assumes user names and passwords are stored in a text file named listofnames.txt. There is one space between each username and password pair per line.

A XML file (see the following example) is required to run this application definition, containing the data for import. Where the data is customized on a per user name basis, the string to be substituted is replaced with *usernamegoeshere*.

For example:

open FILE,"listofnames.txt";
foreach (<FILE>) {
chomp;                  # Clean string
@lines = split(/\n/);   # Split up string
foreach $l (@lines) {
    @fields = split(/\s/);
    $name = $fields[0];
    $pass = $fields[1];
    open DATAFILE,"source.xml";
    open OUTFILE,">data.xml";
    foreach (<DATAFILE>) { # Write up a file specific to this user
        s/\*usernamegoeshere\*/$name/;
        s/\*passwordgoeshere\*/$pass/;
        # Any other variable substitution can be done here too...
        print OUTFILE "$_";
   }
    close DATAFILE;
    close OUTFILE;
   system "slaptool.exe -k \"$pass\" -o \"CN=$name.O=myorg.T=OURCOMPANY\" data.xml";
        }
}
close FILE;
unlink 'data.xml';
****************************************************
Using an XML file called source.xml, run the application definition with the data that is to be imported. For example, you can manually export data from a single user setup with the value for the username replaced with the string "*usernamegoeshere*".

The example application definition does not include error handling.
