Converting LDAP netgroup entries back to flat file format

I am surprised that no where on the net, someone hasn't posted how to convert back to flat file a netgroup objectclass. This is important for loading this dynamic data back into systems that are themselves relying on static files. You'll need openldap-clients or similar packages (to get ldapsearch). Also, in the below script I expect anonymous read access, and no SASL auth obviously. Finally, the "grep net" part of the netgrouplist is to only grab netgroup names with "net" in them, which is what we have standardized on.


#!/bin/bash
BASE="dc=example,dc=com"
HOST="ldap.example.com"

netgrouplist=`ldapsearch -x -b "$BASE" -h $HOST objectclass=nisnetgroup cn | grep cn: | grep net | awk '{print $2}'`

for i in $netgrouplist
do
echo "$i \\"
ldapsearch -x -b "$BASE" -h $HOST cn="$i" > /tmp/netgrp.$$
dn=`cat /tmp/netgrp.$$ | grep dn`
cat /tmp/netgrp.$$ | grep nisNetgroupTriple | awk -F' ' '{print $2}' > /tmp/netgrp-hosts.$$
lastentry=`tail -1 /tmp/netgrp-hosts.$$`
for j in `cat /tmp/netgrp-hosts.$$`
  do
    if [ $j == $lastentry ]
      then echo -e "\t $j"
    else
      echo -e "\t $j \\"
    fi
  done
rm /tmp/netgrp-hosts.$$ /tmp/netgrp.$$
done
