第 4 章 Searching Identity Management entries from the command line

You can use the ipa *-find commands to help you to search for particular types of IdM entries.

To list all the find commands, use the following ipa help command:

$ ipa help commands | grep find

You may need to check if a particular user is included in the IdM database. You can then list all users with the following command:

$ ipa user-find

To list user groups whose specified attributes contain a keyword:

$ ipa group-find keyword

For example the ipa group-find admin command lists all groups whose names or descriptions include string admin:

----------------
3 groups matched
----------------
   Group name: admins
   Description: Account administrators group
   GID: 427200002

   Group name: editors
   Description: Limited admins who can edit other users
   GID: 427200002

   Group name: trust admins
   Description: Trusts administrators group

When searching user groups, you can also limit the search results to groups that contain a particular user:

$ ipa group-find --user=user_name

To search for groups that do not contain a particular user:

$ ipa group-find --no-user=user_name
