Hi Apologies if this isn't directly relevant to LAM but I'm hoping that the list audience will have come across a similar challenge and may have some ideas or knowledge to share.
I'm trying to use an LDAP store for both user authentication and synchronisation to Google Apps. To that end, I want groups in LDAP to serve two purposes: security groups and mailing lists - preferably at the same time. I'm struggling, however, to decide what objectClasses are best to use here. For example, using posixGroup allows me to specify a gid, which means I can then use those groups in UNIX security ACLs. However, for mailing lists, I ideally need two attributes: the group owner (which I can get if I add the groupOfUniqueNames class) and an email address for the list. Unfortunately, although I *can* combine posixGroup and groupOfUniqueNames, they store the membership list in different attributes. Ultimately, that isn't a huge issue because I can tell the Google sync tool which attribute to read for the membership, and Unix will always use the memberUid attribute. Has anyone else tried to accomplish anything similar - or remotely similar? If so, how did you approach it? >From a LAM perspective (bringing the question back onto topic!), are there any recommendations there that might influence how I solve this? Many thanks. Philip
