RE: setting up LDAP question
One thing you'll have to deal with if you ever plan to upgrade to 2.1.x
or (I assume) beyond is a strict enforcement of the single structural
objectclass entry rule. In 2.1.x you must have one and ONLY one
structural object class represented in each entry. So your entries in
cn=unixgroup,ou=users, for example, would not be permitted because both
the posixGroup and the groupOfUniqueNames are structural objectclasses.
But in uid=userx,ou=users, you have no structural objectclasses. So
this class of entry would also be rejected.

Subject: setting up LDAP question
I want to:
- use LDAP for internal use
- use LDAP for an addressbook
- use LDAP for user auth
- use LDAP for different other future databases
- use my own objectclasses. I have an IANA number (1.3.6.1.4.1.10624).
It works, but I'd like to know if I'm on the right way when I organize
things like this:
dc=lucassen,dc=org
|\__ou=users
| |\__cn=unixgroup (top,posixGroup,groupOfUniqueNames)
| |\__uid=user1 (top,posixAccount,shadowAccount)
| |\__uid=user2
| \__uid=user3
|
|\__ou=addressbook
| |\__cn=address1 (naw [local.schema])
| |\__cn=address2
| |\__cn=address3
| \__cn=address4
|
|\__ou=other-database
| |\__cn=entry1 (another-objectclass [local.schema])
I have a local.schema, a slapd.conf (a RedHat version) and an ldif dump:
http://tech1.cam.nl/docs/ldap/local.schema
http://tech1.cam.nl/docs/ldap/test2.ldif
http://tech1.cam.nl/docs/ldap/slapd.conf
It is an rpm install of openldap-2.0.23-4 on RedHat-7.3.
Comments are really appreciated. I'm an LDAP newbie. Please do not talk
5-year-LDAP-experience-language to me ;-) I just want to set up an LDAP
server that is properly configured.
Richard.
