=== Search an replace - Replace the content of sstMailFrom attribute - Step by step ===
Execute the search to retrieve all occurrences of the given search filter (ldap attribute and attribute value):
<source lang='bash'>
Finally, we need ti loop over all the distinguished names and replace the original (old) content to the attribute with the new content:
<source lang='bash'>
for dn in $children
do
cat <<EOF | sed 's/^ \{4\}//' | ldapmodify -x \
-H "$ldap_server" \
-D "$ldap_bind_account" \
-w "$ldap_bind_password"
dn: ${dn}
changetype: modify
replace: ${ldap_attribute}
${ldap_attribute}: ${ldap_attribute_new}
EOF
done
