Thanks for the information Scott.

Looking at the command in detail, it looks like it adds a domain user
that allows the user to log into the windows machine.  I think this is a
great start, but what about details for an address book?  I'm still
learning here, but don't most companies use the same ldap directory for
their Outlook address book?

Looking at one of OpenLDAP's FAQs, it looks like I need to add the
following attributes (these are the fields specific to Outlook) as well
as the ones added from smbldap-useradd:
cn,mail, homePhone, officePager, mobile, telephoneNumber, officeFAX,
title, ou, physicalDeliveryOfficeName, o, URL, givenName, initials, sn,
cn, homePostallAddreess, homePhone, officeFacsimileTelephoneNumber,
postalAddress, l, st, postalCode, countryName, department,
physicalDeliveryOfficeName, and comment.

Does this seem like the correct setup?  I have found documentation
listing these mappings but not much regarding scripts to create a user
(I can create one myself, but it seems like there should be one out
there--the lack of finding one has me questioning whether I am going
down the correct path).  Has anyone created a custom script or know of
one, or am I going down the wrong path with this design?

Thanks,

Kevin Williams


hmmm... Kevin, please checkout phpLdapAdmin - that is a good start for laying this stuff out. I am writing some python stuff to assist me on all this in the future.


Next, you can just generate an LDIF and use ldapadd, or ldapmodify to import / export. It is pretty simple.
