Subject says it all. I've tried ldap-admin, but either it's inaccessible or I don't know how to use it. I found lots of unlabeled controls, and after ensuring that my connection credentials are correct for the LDAP administrator, all I get is a tree that I can't expand or investigate. Given how verbose everything about LDAP is, an accessible GUI client that I can navigate through seems preferable than poking the server with command line utilities and copy-pasting LDAP's incantations again and again. Given how Microsoft likes AD, is there some built-in interface that speaks LDAP well enough to work with OpenLDAP? Or is there something that'd work better with NVDA?

Thanks.

Well, lacking a clear answer I can at least point you towards lists of available LDAP clients [here] and [here]. There's a few cross platform browser variants like LDAP Account Manager, and a few other ones for windows. [LDP] is apparently included with windows.

There really aren't any, sadly. There is of course the command-line LDAP clients that come with OpenLDAP, as well as Apache Directory Studio, but both can be confusing to use.

Thanks, folks. Ended up using something called ldapvi which is, essentially, exactly what it sounds like. Popped open the contents in an editor and made my changes that way. It wasn't a terrible experience.

Thanks for your pointers.
