Documentation of the Systems scripts

Accessing to LDAP is done via anonymous binding, however the server is firewalled. It should work only from within FG domain.
The FG LDAP server ssl certificate is a self-signed one, and the ca certificate file 'FGLdapCacert.pem' is distributed together with the script.
Python ldap module is required.
Python 2.7 is recommended. For 2.6, manually install argparse module should be fine too.
As an example for set up - in india, put the .py and .pem files together in the same directory, then
```
 module load python_w-cmd2
```

will set up the necessary python environment - load python 2.7 and python ldap module.

will print out the project ids;

    ./fg-user-project-info.py -u LDAPUID -t

will include also the project title;

    ./fg-user-project-info.py -u LDAPUID -t -l

will also include the link to the project url in the portal.

    ./fg-user-project-info.py -u LDAPUID -n

will print out only the user full name in the format of:

    GIVENNAME,LASTNAME,UIDNUMBER

The UIDNUMBER is useful only when name ambiguous occurs for two different uid/username.

You could also integrate the functions into your code and manipulate the output directly in python.
