Thanks - Suggestion - memberOf Formatting

[gs-dspell]

Thank you for creating this TUI.
I was going to attempt to create one and then I discovered your project.
It's really nice and fast.
It is helpful to use on macOS in a Microsoft shop.

Something that would be helpful if is the Attrs view could display the memberOf values as a column rather than one value after another.

For example, instead of this...
memberOf CN=727512, OU=HQ, CN=role-it-admin, CN=role-it-dev

Can it be presented as this, if the user toggles it.

memberOf         CN=727512
                 OU=HQ
                 CN=role-it-admin
                 CN=role-it-dev

Thank you for considering.

Thanks for using godap @gs-dspell :)

Multivalued attributes (not only memberOf) are really complex to visualize, but have you tried the ExpandAttrs keybinding?

[Macmod]

Just pressing a in the TUI toggles it. You can also export objects as JSON by selecting them and pressing Ctrl+S - then analyze their attributes offline (e.g. with jq/fx)

[Macmod]

Or you mean splitting the each member's DN itself into components in the TUI?

[gs-dspell]

Saving the object to JSON allowed me to do what I want.

Example

jq -r '
  .Data["CN=Danny Spell,OU=Users,OU=Engineering,OU=Information Systems,OU=Headquarters,DC=domain,DC=pvt"]
  .Attributes
| map(select(.Name=="memberOf")) | first | .Values[]
| capture("^(?<cn>CN=[^,]+)") | .cn
' 1772660840905_results.json | sort | grep role
CN=role-it-businesssystems-readonly
CN=role-it-eng-cog
CN=role-it-eng-sup
CN=role-rapid7-insightidr-readonly

Nice! 😋

It might be helpful to assign a key to the DN that's being used like a key.
Then it would be a key/value pair.
Suggested Key of "DN".

[gs-dspell]

This would be a nice structure.

{
  "Data": {
    "DN": {
      "CN": "Danny Spell",
      "OU": [
        "Users",
        "Engineering",
        "Information Systems",
        "Headquarters"
      ],
      "DC": ["domain", "pvt"]
    },
    "Attributes": [
      { "Name": "memberOf", "Values": [ ... ] },
      { "Name": "title", "Values": [ "Senior Engineer, Infrastructure" ] },
      ...
    ]
  }
}

You're right that the structure of the export can be improved - in most scenarios it's just a JSON serialization of the object that comes out of the go-ldap library, and that's not the "nicest" structure. But I'll have to study that in the near future, because Ctrl+S has to work in an uniform fashion in many different scenarios :P

[gs-dspell]

I just realized that I didn't need to be explicit about the DN.

This works...

jq -r '
  .Data[]
  .Attributes
| map(select(.Name=="memberOf")) | first | .Values[]
| capture("^(?<cn>CN=[^,]+)") | .cn
' 1772660840905_results.json | sort | grep role
