How can I search the LCSEE LDAP Directory for a persons contact information?
If you know the person’s CSEE username, you can finger them by typing ‘ldap-finger username’ on shell.csee.wvu.edu. If you’d like to search our directory for people based on their Real Name, you can use the following on shell.csee.wvu.edu: ldapsearch -x gecos=”*Lastname” gecos mail The above command will search the LDAP directory for anyone with the name you put in for Lastname. The * is simply a wildcard so the search will include anything until it reaches the Lastname. Keep in mind, this is case sensitive since you’re searching a string in the gecos field. You can move the asterisk around to do other searches, such as the one below: ldapsearch -x gecos=”Firstname*” gecos mail The above command here will search for any entry that begins with the firstname you choose to put in.
