You need to decide which schema you want to use. Look in /etc/openldap/schemas/ for definitions of the schemas. You can mix and match schemas to your liking, and offhand, I think that there's a setting in slapd.conf to turn off dependencies. The attributes will be (and this may be an incomplete list, and further may have dependencies -- depending on your slapd.conf): uid cn userPassword To get the attributes loaded into your database, you can use slapadd to import a text file (ldif format). So your text file would look something like this: cn: Joe User uid: 2103 userPassword: somehash(crypt,md5, etc.) [...] for each user. Then, as root, you can do: slapadd -l /path/to/ldif.file I know just enough LDAP to be semi-dangerous. I use it more as an address book than an authentication structure, so take everything I say with a pound of salt! :) +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Craig Sprout | "Send lawyers, guns and money | | Billings, MT | to get me out of this.
