-#use wml::db.d.o title="Direct LDAP Access"
-
-<p>
-The LDAP utilities package provides a program called ldapsearch that can be
-used to execute direct queries to the database. Generally this is done by
-putting
-<pre>
-HOST db.debian.org
-BASE dc=debian,dc=org
-</pre>
-in ~/.ldaprc. Then queries can be performed, for instance
-<pre>
-samosa{jgg}~#ldapsearch uid=wakkerma keyfingerprint
-uid=wakkerma,ou=users,dc=debian,dc=org
-keyfingerprint=38444C2CA6AD756EB4A2E5FA612AFF59
-keyfingerprint=576E100B518D2F1636B028053CB892502FA3BC2D
-</pre>
-Shows the PGP key finger prints for the <tt>wakkerma</tt> user. The first word
-in the command is the query to perform, the rest of command line are the 
-attributes to return, if omitted then all readable attributes are returned. 
-More complicated queries are possible, for instance:
-<pre>
-samosa{jgg}~#ldapsearch '(&(!(loginshell=/bin/bash))(uid=*))' loginshell
-uid=admin,ou=users,dc=debian,dc=org
-
-uid=mryan,ou=users,dc=debian,dc=org
-loginshell=/usr/bin/tcsh
-
-uid=jkominek,ou=users,dc=debian,dc=org
-loginshell=/usr/bin/zsh
-
-uid=caelum,ou=users,dc=debian,dc=org
-loginshell=/usr/bin/zsh
-[..]
-</pre>
-Shows users that do not use bash as their shell. Some other interesting
-queries are:
-<ul>
-<li>Count the number of developers <tt>(&(keyfingerprint=*)(gidnumber=800))</tt>
-<li>Show people in a certain group <tt>gidmembership=adm</tt>
-<li>People named james <tt>cn=james</tt>
-<li>Someone whos last name phonetically sounds like 'Ackerma' <tt>sn~=ackerm</tt>
-<li>All the sparcs <tt>host=sparc</tt>
-</ul>
-<a href="http://info.internet.isi.edu:80/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc2254.txt">RFC 2254</a>
-has more information about the filter expressions.

-<h1>Other LDAP Browsers</h1>
-<p>
-The GQ package has a graphical LDAP browser that can browse the debian.org
-tree. It is somewhat ungainly with the large number of entries in our
-directory, but it does work nonetheless. Configuration is similar, use the
-preferences dialog to add a new host with the information given above.
-<p>
-Netscape has a browser for their mailer, but I have never been able to get
-it to work, please email if you have any luck.
-<p>
-To my knowledge there are no interfaces for popular mailers like mutt and
-gnus. Such an interface would allow using the directory as an enhanced address
-book.
