I recently worked on a project where I had to get data from our Identity and Access Management Server using LDAP and I did not know where to start. Therefore, I have created this use case for future refernce and use case reminder.

Background

Active Directories that I had to query through used LDAP servers. We needed to get the list of users along with their id and email. For that we created a python script. The major aspects are listed below.

# Construct a function that, given a list of integers representing a 
# two-dimensional height map, returns the maximum amount of rainfall
# that could be held by that landscape.

# For example, let's consider the following input:

aws cli helps run aws api from command line. Some of the aws clients i will need to use are as follows:
1. aws_s3: for storage
2. aws_lambda: for serverless compute
3. aws_ec2: compute engine
4. aws_iam: for security and management 

in linux:
install aws cli by `sudo install aws`
then `aws configure`
it will ask to add access_token

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL Docs)

To start the WSL:

• turn windows features on or off (I usually search that on windows menu)
• Then find windows subsystem for linux and click checkbox
• It may require restart the computer
• Go to Microsoft store and download and install Ubuntu

Corey Schafer has an excellent video on how to install

• search for services app on start menu
