Subject: [gentoo-server] Extract usernames from Active Directory
Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 01:41:46 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTim8k_DH0VcFFVWS-KYHoppaAdt3_g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello list!

I'm in the process of setting up a pair of cloud-based email gateways
based on Postfix. The gateways are meant to perform 'front line
filtering' against spammers, before the messages entered the measly
bandwidth into my company's DMZ.

The 'missing ingredient' would be a way to extract the usernames from
Windows' Active Directory. I don't really need a full-fledged AD-LDAP
synchronization, just a way to get them names into a nice list with
which 'postmap' can act upon.

I plan to run the extractor tool every 30 minutes on one of the Gentoo
servers in the DMZ, and automagically push the extraction result -- if
there's anything new -- onto the mail gateways using rsync. And have
yet-another-script at the gateways run 15 minutes afterwards to
'compile' a new file (maybe leveraging make's baked-in timestamp
detection).

Anyone knows what tool(s) I'll need? Especially for the AD extraction part?

Rgds,
