Hi In my understanding Apache Fortress claims the sovereignty over creating users. Thats just fine but i see a problem here. After reading the docs here
https://directory.apache.org/fortress/gen-docs/latest/apidocs/org/apache/directory/fortress/core/AdminMgr.html#addUser-org.apache.directory.fortress.core.model.User- there is no way of assigning custom auxialiary object classes or attributes to the user. The user just represents inetOrgPerson which in most of the cases will be fine. In our scenario users MUST have two extra auxialiary object classes and some extra attributes set to be a valid user. ( I know about ftProps but these represent no attributes ) I am writing an adapter which transfers users from different systems into Apache Fortress by using the AdminMgr. My problem is calling addUser may create a valid inetOrgPerson object but not a valid user object for our system. I would need to make an extra LDAP call to assign this object classes and attributes. This would even make the web interface quite unusable for our admins beacause we can not manage our users on a central place. Apache Fortress may create a valid inetOrgPerson but i would need an extra UI or config tool to set the other object classes. What can i do about this ?
