I confess that I am new to LDAP, so I hope my questions here are not too
irk'ing.
I have setup an OpenLDAP server specifically for playing with James. My root
is dc=faq, dc=velosmed, dc=com. I have created an organizationalUnit
ou=employees off of the root dn. I would like to put all my James accounts
in this node.
To get started, I have created a few organizationalPerson objects with sn,
cn, and x121Address attributes (the last of which stores the email address).
I don't know if I can use these accounts, but its just something I tried.
Now, as I said, this server is just for James, so I am willing to recreate
the structure if needed: the onsite documentation, however, is not clear to
me. For example, am I suppose to create a node called LocalUsers, or will
James create it for me using the James.conf settings? If I must create it
myself, what objectclass will let me specify "cn" and "member" attributes?
assuming my structure above, are all the james accounts simply maintained as
attributes? Because LDAP is suppose to be shared by different systems, how
do I add aditional attributes for user accounts?
Sorry for such elementary questions. I want to learn LDAP, and because I had
such good luck with James, I thought I would use it as my testbed.
Thanks in advance for any help!
