OSX LDAP Browser?

[Christian Hewitt]

I'm looking for a basic LDAP browser utility. Something roughly the
equivalent of the LDP tool that you have on Windows for looking at
Active Directory installations. I'm not just wanting to search for
email addresses for whitepages lookups - I want to look at entore DIT
structures. I've not found much via google yet so wondering if anyone
has any suggestions?

I don't know about the LDP tool for Windows, but there is a web based tool
called phpldapadmin, Although it's not just a browsing tool - it does allow
modification as well, so maybe doesn't suit. Have you had a search as
sourceforget.net?

Sorry if I appear to be hijacking your thread, but I'm also looking for
something similar - something as easy to use as Address Book, but can modify
an LDAP server as well.

I'm surprised there isn't anything. I hacked up a little browser in Cocoa
recently (to teach myself about NSOutlineView) using and it was very easy.

I don't suppose

/usr/bin/ldapsearch ... | $PAGER

is any use? ;-)

Not really... i'm very much a stranger to the unix tools and command
line in OSX. However, I did find this on sourceforge:

http://jxplorer.org/

Which seems to do the trick. You need to hack a .plist to make it use
Java 1.4+ but it seems to have a decent enough feature set. More than
adequate for my needs anyway..

LDP ships with the Win2000 Server Tools. It's a lightweight LDAP client
for looking under the hood at the contents of an Active Directory.

I found the following on sourceforge:

Which is what I was after. Possibly a little hardcore/overkill for what
you're needing though.

This has done it for me:

(note, I haven't needed to use it in Panther, but it should work there too.)

Remember you can also set an LDAP directory in in the system panels
somewhere (can't remember) and thus Mail.app will lookup those defined
LDAP servers when you enter addressees. Check Mac Help in Panther, "LDAP".

Mail was setup some time back for LDAP lookup. The request was more
about being able to browse the entire DIT of a directory. I need to
look at the raw data for an entry, not just a subset of inetOrgPerson
details. JExplore (sourceforge) sorted me out.
