Listing platform users from external servers

If you’re running Integrated Analytics System Version 1.0.7.0 or above, you can list platform users from an external directory server who have access to the system.

Before you begin

System needs to be enabled with external LDAP before running the command to list platform users from external LDAP server added to the system.

Procedure

Log in to the appliance as apuser or any equivalent that is a member of ibmadmin OS group.
Use the ap_external_ldap.pl listuseraccess option to list the platform users from external LDAP added in the system.
```
ap_external_ldap.pl listuseraccess [all| -U user_names]
```
Optional parameters:

all

Lists all the platform users from external LDAP having access to the system.

-U user_names

Specifies the comma-separated list of user names whose information needs to be shown.

Note: If no parameter is provided, the ap_external_ldap.pl listuseraccess lists all external LDAP users with access to the system.

Results

Running the ap_external_ldap.pl utility with listuseraccess option displays uid, uid Number, Platform Group and Platform gid Number.

The output is produced in the following format:
