NAME
umich-ud - interactive X.500 Directory Server query program
SYNOPSIS
umich-ud [-Dv] [-s server] [-d debug-mask] [-l ldap-debug-mask] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
umich-ud is used to interogate a directory server via the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
OPTIONS
- -s
-
Used to specify the name of an LDAP server to which umich-ud should connect. If this flag is omitted, the value specified in the umich-ud configuration file is used. If no value is specified in the configuration file, or the configuration file does not exist, the name ldap is used. Of course, it is up to the system administrator to make sure that the name ldap can be resolved (presumably through the use of a CNAME or A record in the DNS and the appropriate search path specified in the resolver config file).
- -d
-
Sets the umich-ud debug mask to the value specified. Values for the mask can be dumped by using the -D flag.
- -f
-
Sets the configuration file to the name specified.
- -l
-
Sets the LDAP debug mask to the value specified.
- -v
-
Turns on verbose output. Also toggable via the umich-ud verbose command.
- -D
-
Prints out a list of valid umich-ud debug masks.
FILES
/etc/umich-ldap/ud.conf The umich-ud configuration file.

DIAGNOSTICS
umich-ud will try to be nice about error conditions, and in most cases prints a warm and fuzzy error message when it encounters a problem. Sometimes the error will be unexpected, and in these cases, umich-ud uses the ldap_perror() routine to print an informative diagnostic.
BUGS
Too numerous to mention.
