Greetings;
I’ve recently built a new LDAP infrastructure, migrated from NIS. Under NIS, I
had a map, “printers”, which I used to query with “ypcat printers.byname|grep
username”.
I need to setup default printers for several applications, and making them
centrally available, and configurable, is a must for me.
The issue I am facing is that my users, now listed under people, have no place
to add a default printer; although there is an “allowed attribute” for “host”,
which right now for me goes unused.
What I would like to do is to create a new database in my DIT, call it say
defaultPrinters, which contains left side username, right side printer; i.e.:
smitha hp001
joner hp002
carsont hp001
Additionally, I would like to be able to add an allowable attribute under
People, named defaultPrinters, which points to the database that I am trying to
create.
Thanks in advance.
