Virtual attributes could be a stop-gap solution before we get there, since to remove this from ldap2 we'd need to change all the plugins that use it. Thinking about it more, it probably would be too much work for a workaround. -- Petr³ ___ Freeipa-devel mailing list Freeipa-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel

[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] Do not ask for memberindirect when updating managed permissions
One of the default_attributes of permission is memberofindirect, a
virtual attribute manufactured by ldap2, which is set when a permission
is part of a role.
When update_entry is called on an entry with memberofindirect, ipaldap
tries to add the attribute to LDAP and fails with an objectclass violation.
Do not ask for memberindirect when retrieving the entry.

entry[attr_name] but would not be synced back to LDAP?

Subject: [PATCH] Do not ask for memberindirect when updating managed
permissions
One of the default_attributes of permission is memberofindirect,
a virtual attribute manufactured by ldap2, which is set when a permission
is part of a role.
When update_entry is called on an entry with memberofindirect,
ipaldap tries to add the attribute to LDAP and fails with an objectclass
violation.
Do not ask for memberindirect when retrieving the entry.
