There is a first version of a "Distributed Numeric Assignment" plug-in in the current Fedora Directory Server code that deals with this problem. It is designed to manage a range of unique numeric values across multiple master FDS instances.Hello All,After spending a long weekend, configuring Fedora-DS to have central autentication + Central home dirs, I now have two issues which I would like to know if anyone can help me with.1) Currently when adding a new user, I have to manually goto advanced options and add a value called posixgroup to the object class, this is so that groupID have a name and you dont see the error GroupID name not found when logging onto a box. Is there anyway to update the default user template, so that, when you enable posixaccount, posixgroup objectclass is automatically added? thus removing the manual process?2) Is there anyway to get the directory server generate UNIQUE UID/GID based on last uid created. Ideally I would like the range to start from 5000 and finish at 8000. The automatic procedure would just use the next available uid/gid in the list, again removing the need for the user to check and make sure the id is unique.
You can read more about the current implementation at http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNA_Plugin_Implementation
I am currently doing some re-design and improvement to this plug-in to address some shortcomings of the current implementation. These areas are pointed out at the bottom of the above page.

any help with either of these issues would be much appreciated. Regards Kashif ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
