Symantec Access Management

With CA directory as user-store, i want to count the total number of user data entry present in a given dsa, Please suggest how it can be accomplished.

Thanks in advance,

Ankush

Hi Ankush,

Can you please elaborate your query more?

Would you like to list the contents of a DSA?

Thanks,

Hi Ankush,

You can run ldapsearch command to get number of user entries in CA Directory.

for example: ldapsearch.exe -D "uid=admin,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -w test -h <hostname> -p 1234 -b "dc=example,dc=example" "uid=*" ldapentrycount

where -D = admin user to contact ldap

-w = password of admin user

-h= hostname of ldap

-p=port of ldap

-b= bind DN

Hi Ankush,

As already suggested by Lavanya in the previous comment, CA Directory provides a special entry information selector dxEntryCount to count entries.

For a good description, please take a look at our wiki here: Counting Entries - CA Directory - 12.0.14 - CA Wiki

Hope it helps,

Roberto

Hi Ankush,

You can as well use DXAdmin, if it is still shipped.

Thanks,

Ankush,

As suggested by Lavanya and Roberto, you can certainly use ldapsearch. If you do not have openLDAP tools installed and available to you, one can certainly use 'dxsearch' command line utility that ships with CA Directory product.

Another option to quickly check "how many number of entries" you have in a particular DSA is to connect to DXconsole and execute 'get cache;'.

At the end of the output you will something like:

dxgrid-db-size = 500000000

Used bytes in file = 282522

Reclaimable bytes = 98

Total number of entries = 1382   <= This line in the output

disable-transaction-log = false

disable-transaction-log-flush = false

Thanks,

Hitesh
