I can connect to the ldap server fine but for attributes all it has is givenName,sn,mail. How do I get the commonName? cn is a entry but not a attribute. So the structure is like this cn=username, ou=students, ou=school, o=district. So under the cn of username there should be an attribute of cn correct? How do I get the cn attribute or what would I have to setup with novell netware 6.5 to get the cn attribute to show up so that I can do searches? I can bind with a user and password I just won't return any search results because of the missing attribute. Please help. Thanks
cn attribute is actualy here, it is just part or dn.
So you have access to *nix box and you have openldap tools installed, try
ldapsearch -x -W -D 'cn=administrator,o=yourorg' '(cn=username)' cn
it should give result like
# peasika, Users, SKTO
dn: cn=peasika,ou=Users,o=SKTO
cn: peasika
If above command doesnt give results, check server ldap-group objects attribute mappings.
