Performing an Splunk LDAP search from a field in an existing csv file

[roayers]

Here is what I'm trying to accomplish. I have an csv file that I generated with an existing search that looks like this

IP,cn,Region,City,Country
"0.0.0.0",johndoe,somestate,"somecity","United States"

I'm trying to perform the ldap search using all of the cn field and append the results into a new table with additional ad values from the ldapsearch

My single ldap search is presently working properly
| ldapsearch domain=pa.lcl search="(cn=johndoe)" | table cn,title,displayName,employeeID,mail,company,department,extensionAttribute3,streetAddress,l,st,telephoneNumber,lastLogonTimestamp,lockoutTime,extensionAttribute15, | rename cn as "User ID", displayName as "Display Name", employeeID as "Employee Number", company as "Agency", department as "Department", mail as "Email" title as "Title", st as "State", streetAddress as "Street Address", l as "City", telephoneNumber as "Telephone Number", lastLogonTimestamp as "Last Logon", extensionAttribute15 as "VPN Group" extensionAttribute3 as "Deputate" lockoutTime as "LockOut Time"

Here is the output of that search data removed

User ID Title Display Name Employee Number Email Agency Department Deputate Street Address City State Telephone Number Last Logon LockOut Time VPN Group

Here are the fields from the ldap search that I want to add to the final table

cn,title,displayName,employeeID,mail,company,department,extensionAttribute3,streetAddress,l,st,telephoneNumber,lastLogonTimestamp,lockoutTime,extensionAttribute15, | rename cn as "User ID", displayName as "Display Name", employeeID as "Employee Number", company as "Agency", department as "Department", mail as "Email" title as "Title", st as "State", streetAddress as "Street Address", l as "City", telephoneNumber as "Telephone Number", lastLogonTimestamp as "Last Logon", extensionAttribute15 as "VPN Group" extensionAttribute3 as "Deputate" lockoutTime as "LockOut Time"

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at the map command? I haven't tried this...

| inputlookup lookupfile.csv | table cn | map "search=| ldapsearch domain=pa.lcl search="(cn=$cn$)" | table cn,title,displayName,employeeID,mail,company,department,extensionAttribute3,streetAddress,l,st,telephoneNumber,lastLogonTimestamp,lockoutTime,extensionAttribute15" | rename cn as "User ID", displayName as "Display Name", employeeID as "Employee Number", company as "Agency", department as "Department", mail as "Email" title as "Title", st as "State", streetAddress as "Street Address", l as "City", telephoneNumber as "Telephone Number", lastLogonTimestamp as "Last Logon", extensionAttribute15 as "VPN Group" extensionAttribute3 as "Deputate" lockoutTime as "LockOut Time"

Map command does have certain limitations: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.2/SearchReference/Map

I try this solution and get the error:

[map]: External search command 'ldapsearch' returned error code 1. Script output = "error_message=invalid filter ".

when I remove "$" from $cn$, it fix error but no results in the search.
Can anyone Help?

Thanks for advise, but I found the problem.

Probably in version 8 the command map need the syntax "map cn" and quote breaks, in this case it looks like:

| inputlookup lookupfile.csv | table cn | map cn search="| ldapsearch domain=pa.lcl search=\"(cn=$cn$)\" | table cn,title,displayName,employeeID,mail,company,department,extensionAttribute3,streetAddress,l,st,telephoneNumber,lastLogonTimestamp,lockoutTime,extensionAttribute15" | rename cn as "User ID", displayName as "Display Name", employeeID as "Employee Number", company as "Agency", department as "Department", mail as "Email" title as "Title", st as "State", streetAddress as "Street Address", l as "City", telephoneNumber as "Telephone Number", lastLogonTimestamp as "Last Logon", extensionAttribute15 as "VPN Group" extensionAttribute3 as "Deputate" lockoutTime as "LockOut Time"

thanks
