Can I access the Online Campus Directory using the ITD Login Service?

The ud client is a text-only, command-line client program that runs on unix machines, like the ITD Login Service and provides access to the Online Campus Directory. Users can access ud using any terminal emulation program. Using the ud client and the ITD Login Service, you can search the directory as well as make changes to your individual and group entries.

NOTE: Unix users should not use vedit to modify their Online Campus Directory entries. This could cause you to delete portions of your entry that you will not be able to recover. Instead, use the "change" or "modify" command in the ud Online Campus Directory interface.

To find out how to connect to the ITD Login Service using telnet software such as BetterTelnet or Host Explorer, see the ITD publication Accessing ITD's Login, Statistics and Computation, and UMCE Subscription Services (S4157).

ud has an online help system. For a complete list of commands available for ud, enter help at the ud "*" prompt.

For further information on using ud, refer to the following ITD publications.

• Using ud to Find and Change Your Entry in the Online Campus Directory (S4182)

• Using ud to Find and Join Groups in the Online Campus Directory (S4181)

• Using ud to Create and Manage Groups in the Online Campus Directory (S4183)

If you are using your own Unix system instead of the ITD Login Service and it doesn't have the ud client installed, your Unix system administrator can obtain ud through anonymous FTP from the URL ftp://terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu/x500/ldap/ldap.tar.Z
