I am a newbie to ldap(openldap). We have openldap working fine. We are in the process of writing some scripts to automate certain tasks and adding users has created a debate here on best practice. We have about 2000 users and have decided to start user uid's at 10000 and increment from there. We have a turn-over of about 500 new users per year. What I am curious about is what algorithm or method do many of you use to determine the next available uid for assiging to a new user?
Do you use ldapsearch command and tail -1 for the next uid? Do you keep track of the latest assigned uid in a seperate file or something and increment the file appropriately? I am curious if there is a recommendadtion for best practice in obtaining the next available uid? Any advise is much appreciated!
