Issue #17903 has been updated by Andrew Parker. Target version deleted (2.7.x)
As the 2.7.x line is winding down, I am removing the target at 2.7.x from tickets in the system. The 2.7 line should only receive fixes for major problems (crashes, for instance) or security problems. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17903: The LDAP group provider is hard-coded to manage posixGroup and it's member attribute https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17903#change-80552 Author: Neil Hemingway Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Neil Hemingway Category: provider Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.20 Keywords: Branch: On redhat, it's useful to be able to manage also groupOfUniqueNames, with it's uniqueMember attribute. nss_ldap allows the uniqueMember attribute to be nested. This provides the ability to group users into organisational groups and functional groups can then be defined in terms of the organisational ones. For example the following LDIF provides for only having to manage user accounts once: cn=operations, ou=Groups, o=$myorg uniqueMember: uid=developer1, ou=People, o=$myorg uniqueMember: uid=developer2, ou=People, o=$myorg cn=developers, ou=Groups, o=$myorg uniqueMember: uid=sysadmin1, ou=People, o=$myorg uniqueMember: uid=sysadmin2, ou=People, o=$myorg cn=ssh_access, ou=Groups, o=$myorg uniqueMember: cn=operations, ou=Groups, o=$myorg uniqueMember: cn=developers, ou=Groups, o=$myorg would allow all four listed users ssh access to the system in question. The advantage is when developer3 comes along, adding them to the developers group automatically grants ssh access. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
