Sort of correct. But these are specific OU cells and not
a forest wide cell. At the risk of digressing into a Likewise
specific thing, an OU cell stores the meta data for objects
in a container inside the OU. So you can add a user or group
across a one-way trust to an OU cell and the UNIX attribute
information is stored inside the OU in *your* domain.
So in this case, you don't send LDAP queries across a one-way
trust. In the RFC2307 forest cell case, the UNIX attribute
information is stored *on* the actual user and group object.
Idmap_adex only supported the RFC2307 forest "cell" since this
was easy to do using the MS "Identity Services for Unix" management
tools.
Make sense?
So it is just the naming of structures, routines and so on
that points at the concept of Likewise Cells, nothing in the
code actually references anything specific to those?
Correct. I just reused a lot of the Likewise code here.
My intent was originally to minimize change between the
version that we shipped in Likewise Identity 4.x and what
was in Samba and to leverage the Likewise QA team on both
fronts.
I can draw you a diagram on a napkin at Samba XP next year
just for the sake of conversation and maybe explain it better.
