return ldap group name of user

Hello,
Sorry i'm new with ldapsearch,

With the following command i can return the dn group name of user, but i want to retuen only the group name or gid without other information:

Code:

ldapsearch -h ipaserver.example.com -p 389  -x -b "dc=example,com"  "(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid=test-user))" dn

# extended LDIF

#

# LDAPv3

# base <dc=example,dc=com> with scope subtree

# filter: (&(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid=test))

# requesting: dn 

#



# jabber_users, groups, compat, example.com

dn: cn=jabber_users,cn=groups,cn=compat,dc=example,dc=com



# search result

search: 2

result: 0 Success



# numResponses: 2

# numEntries: 1

Can someone help please !

Hi,

I guess you want to get just "cn=jabber_users" from the whole ldapsearch output.
If that's the case, you could try something like:

Code:

ldapsearch -h ipaserver.example.com -p 389  -x -b "dc=example,com"  "(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid=test-user))" dn|grep -o 'cn=.*'|cut -d',' -f1

Hi bathory,
Thank you for the quick reply,

This query will be used in freeradius authentication and i'm not sure if grep works in freeradius query ?

Thanks,
