Greetings,
Migration from OpedLDAP to IPA creates a pair of subtrees for both users
and groups:
compat and accounts, use groups as an example:
dn: cn=acdp,cn=groups,cn=compat,dc=sri,dc=utoronto,dc=ca
dn: cn=acdp,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=sri,dc=utoronto,dc=ca
IPA web GUI does not show "memberUid" attribute, although it is
migrated correctly,
by adding a user to the group in the web GUI, it reveals that member is
added to both
compat and accounts, but differently:
accounts: member:
uid=qchang,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=sri,dc=utoronto,dc=ca
compat: memberUid: qchang
It also reveals that GUI does not display anything for "compat" tree,
but I can use
ldap tools to show compat entries.
My questions:
1, why do we have two trees created? I vaguely remember that it is
mentioned that
compat is for support of IPA as an NIS proxy?
cn=compat is a view of the data in rfc2307-compatible format (so
memberUid instead of member). It isn't a separate copy.
It is so clients that don't support 2307bis can still authenticate and
identify users using nss_ldap.
2, Can the migration script be modified to convert "memberUid" to
"member" for
accounts tree? Or can I modify it manually and load the tree with
ldapmod without
breaking IPA?
It already can, see the --schema option.
it says:
--schema=['RFC2307bis', 'RFC2307']
The schema used on the LDAP server. Supported
values
are RFC2307 and RFC2307bis. The default is
RFC2307bis
I assume I am using the default. Does this mean that I should use
RFC2307 instead?
It does not make much sense to me because my OpenLDAP server is using
RFC2307 if I understand your comments above right.
If the LDAP server you are migrating from is using RFC2307 (e.g.
memberUid in the groups to specify membership) then use --schema=RFC2307.
You are specifying the remote schema, not the local schema.
