Hi, I created openldap-dit. The goal of the openldap-dit project was never to create a set of tools to create users and other objects in the directory, but rather setup a basic tree, with reasonable default ACLs, on which new LDAP administrators could build on and have a starting place for whatever setup they wanted. I know trees can take many shapes and forms. It can surely be simplified by removing dns and dhcp, which are the most complex branches in there I think, specially since bind in ubuntu doesn't work with ldap so well. I also think that the move to cn=config made it more difficult, if not impossible, for people not familiar with ldap to get to a starting point, at least without something like a default dit with an admin and some basic ACLs. The DIT I created I think helps, and I would love to hear some feedback about people who tried to use it. I know some of its pain points, but without people complaining or using it I don't have much motivation to fix it. And I'm at fault with that, because I never exactly made it very public. - -- Andreas Hasenack [email protected] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvYZjMACgkQeEJZs/PdwpCkpgCfeK46PCXwtBcax3bSJEIbsbO/ tjIAoMim4vfjAuiIu97eOCKGChTktTZh =aJi9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
