How to deactivate user if I have exceeded the license
Environment
- licensed UCS environment
- You need to deactivate a bulk of users
Single user you can deactivate with:
root@ucs:~# udm users/user modify --dn uid=MyUsername,cn=users,$(ucr get ldap/base) --set disabled=1
Note1: The UDM users module is not usable as far as bug 46289 is not fixed. Here is a workaround.
Disable a bulk of users
Step 1: Create a report CSV to filter the users
univention-directory-reports -m users/user -r "CSV Report" $(udm users/user list --position cn=users,${ldap_base} | sed -ne 's/^DN: \(.*\)$/\1/p')
Step 2: Filter the users
you can copy the report file with scp to your computer and filter the csv in a Spreadsheet of your choice.
scp root@<IP or FQDN of your system>:/tmp/univention-directory-reports-54X3zj.csv ./
We need a list with the usernames of the users you want to deactivate for the next step.
Step 3: Deactivate the users
We need the list on the master. An easy way is to copy the column with the filtered usernames and paste them into a new textfile on the server.
cat UserList.txt |while read name; do udm users/user modify --dn uid=$name,cn=users,$(ucr get ldap/base) --set disabled=1; done
Note! You may change the dn f.e. for an OU if the users are placed in an OU as they are in a school environment.
