goal

How to list the users who have access to CMSynergy

How to get the email addresses of all CMSynergy users

How to get the email addresses of all users of a CMSynergy database

fact

Telelogic CMSynergy

fix

All these commands require ccm_root privilege.

Add a user:
echo username | add_some_cm_users_via_edir

Add a bunch of users:
cat namelist | add_some_cm_users_via_edir

List all CMSynergy users:
lsgroup_ldap cmsynergy

Get the email addresses of all CMSynergy users:
get_all_email_addrs

Get the email addresses of all users of a particular database
get_email_list_from_db database

Get all the eDirectory attributes of a user object:
get_all_edir_attrs username

note

Here's the list of all the edir/ldap commands so far:

add_all_cm_users_via_edir
add_attr_to_users
add_group_to_users
add_posix_attrs_to_users
add_some_cm_users_via_edir
add_users_to_group
cm_ldap_init
fix_homedir
fix_uniqueid
generic_ldap_search
get_all_edir_attrs
get_all_email_addrs
get_bad_homedir
get_bad_uid
get_bad_uniqueid
get_bad_users
get_cm_users
get_email_addr
get_email_list_from_db
get_user_info
lsgroup_ldap
map_wfid_to_name
mk_home_dirs.sh
rm_posix_from_user
rm_user_from_group
verify_ccm_users

Most of the commands that are not mentioned in the fix section of this solution are either called by other scripts or are rarely used. All of these scripts are in the edir_admin project in the prv_cm database.

The add_some_cm_users_via_edir command creates home directories for users as needed, but on one server only -- the server on which you run the command. If a user needs access to more than one server, then run mk_home_dirs on the other server or servers.

Example: user xyz needs access to cm0, ccm1, and ccm5.

on cm0, do this:

echo xyz | add_some_cm_users_via_edir

on ccm1, do this:

mk_home_dirs

on ccm5, do this:

mk_home_dirs
