πŸ’… rt-ldapimport β€” the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the little script that goes and fetches your people. 🫢 It's rt-ldapimport, a Request Tracker thing (manual section 8, sysadmin territory, very grown-up of it), and its whole job is importing user attributes from an LDAP directory. No cap. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

rt-ldapimport β€” import user attributes from an LDAP directory. That's it, that's the gig. πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

the way you run it is literally this:

rt-ldapimport [--import]

one command, one optional flag. so minimal. so chic. πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the thing β€” this page is not gonna hold your hand through the how. See RT::LDAPImport for configuration instructions. That's where all the setup lore lives. This manpage is just the vibes and the flags. 🧚


✨ OPTIONS ✨

every flag, no skipping, we're not gatekeeping here:

  • --import β€” bestie, without this flag it merely does a dry-run of the import. which is giving "rehearsal dinner, not the wedding." πŸ₯² nothing actually gets written. add the flag when you're ready for the real thing.
  • --verbose β€” log more data when importing. it's giving main character energy for your terminal output. πŸ”₯
  • --no-users β€” skip user import. not today, users. πŸ™ˆ
  • --no-groups β€” skip group import. groups are on read receipts today, they're not coming. πŸ’€

lowkey important: if you forget --import, you get a dry-run and nothing else. that's not a bug, that's the design, and it's honestly a vibe check for your config before you commit. πŸ’…

🌈 that's the whole page, fr fr

that's genuinely it β€” no exit statuses, no env vars, no secret bonus flags hiding at the bottom. this one's short and sweet, like a good group chat reply. πŸ“

this lil doc is from the Request Tracker Reference, dated 2023-10-29, and it rides with perl v5.38.2. slay, periodt, bye bestie πŸ’œπŸŒΈβœ¨
