A an example, assume we have a conference roomName: sabertooth DN: roomName=saberTooth, floor=3, building=U8, ou=buildings, ou=butler,o=willeke roomName: saberTooth capacity: 221 availability: active location: somewhere description: A mean Conference Room building: U8 floor: 3 resources: cn=scanner,ou=resources, ou=butler,o=willeke resources: cn=projector,ou=resources, ou=butler,o=willeke
We also have a resource: DN: cn=scanner,ou=resources, ou=butler,o=willeke cn: scanner description: HP Scanner location: roomName=saberTooth, floor=3, building=U8, ou=buildings, ou=butler,o=willeke networkAddress: 192.168.4.5 ou: butler o: willeke owner: cn=jim,ou=butler,o=willeke serialNumber: X345YD The location on the resource could be a reciprocal attribute to the resources attribute on the conference room. This allows knowing where the resources are by viewing the resource and what resources are in the room by viewing the conference room. A perhaps better method would be to only use the location on the resource and then a query (location=roomName=saberTooth, floor=3, building=U8, ou=buildings, ou=butler,o=willeke) form an appropriate searchBase would show all the resources assigned to the room. The construction of schema frameworks such as this is very similar to the construction of a proper database schema. Both of which is a bit of a mix of science, art, and experience. -jim Jim Willeke On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 2:22 AM, Manish Kutaula <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi jim, > > I didnot get the idea of making each resource as a objectClass.
