Unlock users in OID

There is always a need to unlock the user in OID. This can be done from the Konsole.

We must ideally create a file to do this so that we can use this multiple times.

Below are the steps.

1. Create a file, say name it as unlockusers.sh.
2. Paste the below content into the file.
   ldapmodify -p 389 -h servername.corp.company.com -D cn=orcladmin -w password -x -v <<EOF
   dn: cn=username, cn=Users,dc=corp,dc=company,dc=com
   changetype: modify
   add: orclpwdaccountunlock
   orclpwdaccountunlock: 1
   EOF
3. Save and close the file.
4. Give execute permission on that new file
   chmod +x unlockuser.sh
5. Execute the file like
   ./unlockusers.sh

Next time on, all you need to do is change the username and execute the file.
