Hi all,

I was wondering what everyone uses for an account objectClass? Right now I'm using "Person", which makes the dn:

cn=<user>,ou=Radius,dc=mydomain,dc=net

However, indexing the cn would index the CN of other OU's as well ...
..
I'm just wondering what people use.  I know "Account" could also be used.


I extend my schema with RADIUS-LDAPv3.schema and use the radiusprofile objectclass. However, mine is old and uses uid instead of cn, which is in that file. You certainly could create your own objectclass or modify the one that is there. I think you should stick with cn, since that is what freeradius knows and you already use it. It will make maintanence and upgrades much easier.

However, back to your problem. I don't see what the issue is with indexing cn. If you are ever going to do searches on other OU's for a cn attribute, you would probably hope that its indexed. The performance hit you will take for indexing that attribute is probably not even close to the performance gain you will get having cn indexed for searches.

This is especially true with the newest versions of openldap (2.3).
