Servers with support for dynamic entries (RFC 2589)?

HI!

I'd like to do some more interop testing regarding dynamic entries (see RFC
2589). Any servers except OpenLDAP with slapo-dds which support the Refresh
Extended Operation?

Ciao, Michael.

Attributes for unlocking entries, all password-relevant attributes

HI!

I've implemented the use-case in web2ldap for unlocking entries which were
locked out because of password failure. IMHO it mainly boils down to delete
the relevant attributes from the entry. Another similar use-case is to unset
all password-relevant attributes.

Now I'm looking for proprietary password-relevant attributes in various
directory server implementations. I'd be glad to receive some input. A public
test LDAP server would be great.

So far I have this attribute lists:

For unlocking:

      # Samba-Passwortattribute
      u'sambaBadPasswordCount',u'sambaBadPasswordTime',
      # draft-behera-ldap-password-policy
      u'pwdAccountLockedTime',u'pwdFailureTime',

For unsetting everything:

      u'userPassword',
      # Samba-Passwortattribute
      u'sambaBadPasswordCount',u'sambaBadPasswordTime',
      u'sambaClearTextPassword',
      u'sambaLMPassword',u'sambaNTPassword',u'sambaPasswordHistory',
      u'sambaPreviousClearTextPassword',
      # draft-behera-ldap-password-policy
      u'pwdAccountLockedTime',u'pwdHistory',u'pwdChangedTime',

Explaining LDAP in a minute

I have always looked for a good way to explain to people what LDAP 
directories essentially are. I discovered that the file system analogy 
works very well.

This is my working version, as synthesised on my blog: 
http://blog.dzhuvinov.com/?p=1085

Feel welcome to use it in your own presentations. If you have 
suggestions for improvement I'd be glad to receive them.

Overall organisation

     * A file system consists of files in a tree-like structure.
     * An LDAP directory consists of entries in a tree-like structure.

Data types

     * A file in a file system is an arbitrary blob of text or binary
       data.
     * A directory entry is a collection of attributes, or name / value
       pairs. Attributes may be text or binary. They may be mandatory
       or optional, single or multi-valued.

Naming

     * A file in a file system has a name, e.g. "tax-report-2010.xml".

  • A directory entry is a collection of attributes, or name / value pairs. Attributes may be text or binary. They may be mandatory or optional, single or multi-valued.

Naming

  • A file in a file system has a name, e.g. "tax-report-2010.xml". The file name must be unique within the containing folder.
  • An entry in a directory branch has a relative distinct name (RDN), e.g. "cn=Alice Wonderland". The RDN comes from an existing name/value pair in the entry that was chosen to become the entry's name (or title). RDNs must also be unique within the containing directory branch.

Global naming

  • A file in a file system is uniquely identified by its path, e.g. "/home/vladimir/taxes/tax-report-2010.xml".
  • An entry in a directory is identified by its distinct name (DN), which is formed by the chain of RDNs leading all the way to the directory root, e.g. "cn=Alice Wonderland, ou=people, dc=wonderland, dc=net".

Group entry name attribute

HI!

I'd like to search for group entries by name.

It seems that a group entry's name is commonly stored in attribute 'cn'
(groupOfNames, organizationalRole, posixGroup etc.). Are there any other known
group entry naming attributes known? I did not find one in my schema collection...

Ciao, Michael.

ldabcon and umich ldap mailing list

Dear all,

at the last ldapcon (www.ldapcon.org) we talked about having a
mailinglist to discuss future ldapcons. Since this list is sort of
dormant, and since most of the conference participants are subscribers
already we thought it was a good idea to revive this list for this purpose.

If anyone on this list objects to this, please shout! Otherwise we would
just start discussing here.

Best,

Peter
