Hi all,
I want to share something that I think is not well documented.
When you build your SQL statement to sync data with OpenLDAP, the
column you will use as your UID must be named UID if you want to use
the "-c all" option.
I created entries in LDAP with an email address as the UID. I first
build the SQL statement with "select * from mytable", and then build
the DN with column "courriel". However, LSC was deleting all entries
with "-c all" option.
From what I understand, LSC matches the #uid# of the SQL statement
with the field "uid" in LDAP. So when LSC tries to math #courriel# in
LDAP, it fails and then replace #courriel# by a NULL value in the SQL
query. Result: it deletes everything.
I don't know if this is a well known pitfall/behavior, but I wanted
to share this in case it could help someone.
Regards,
Maxime
