Thanks for the clarification.

Andrew

I am working on migrating from OpenLDAP using the inetOrgPerson
schema to Samba4. I would like to continue to provide backwards
compatibility with our existing authentication service. In
OpenLDAP, users are all contained inside the People organizational
unit and referenced by uid, for example:
dn: uid=myuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com

When using samba-tool to add a user, it places the user inside of
the Users cn, and references the user via its cn entry rather than
via uid:
dn: cn=myuser,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com

Is there any Samba4 or AD reason why I need to use
cn=myuser,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com for users, or can I import
them to uid=username,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com and use this
organizational structure instead?
You can import them in an OU called People but they will have the rdn
CN
not UID, why is it like that is because we have to be compatible with
the other AD implementation.


If you really need to present your ldap rdn as uid for legacy stuff, I guess you could set up a openldap with a rwm overlay (http://linux.die.net/man/5/slapo-rwm). However I think if would be easier in the end to stick to MSAD standards with cn rid.

Cheers,

Denis
