From the SUSE perspective, we encourage people to use the config child entries, both in our migration tooling from openldap -> 389-ds, but also from the dsconf utility as the prefered method to update these configs. I think there could be an easy migration path by lifting the cn=PAM Pass Through Auth main config into a "cn=<uuid>,cn=config,cn=PAM pta,..." entry. -- Sincerely, William Brown Senior Software Engineer, Identity and Access Management SUSE Labs, Australia -- _______________________________________________ 389-users mailing list -- 389-users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to 389-users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/389-users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
