Re: OpenLDAP vs NetScape

[Fábio Gomes <flgomes@fazenda.sp.gov.br>]

Hi all,


        I'm migrating from Netscape Directory Server to OpenLDAP 2.0.7.

        That new server will support 8.000 entries with information for
proxy
authentication, qmail integration and personal information, of course.

        The old server have suported 8.000 entries with information for
proxy
authentication, Netscape Messaging Server and personal information.

        For now, the OpenLDAP is in test environment.

        I have changed the attributes structure for all entries. With
Netscape
Directory it looks like so:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dn: uid=flgomes,ou=terceiros,ou=pessoal,o=fazenda,o=sp.gov,c=BR
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: inetOrgPerson

objectclass: nsLicenseUser

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


... and now, with OpenLDAP, it is like that:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dn: uid=flgomes,ou=terceiros,ou=pessoal,o=fazenda,o=sp.gov,c=BR
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: qmailUser

userpassword: {SHA}xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=

mailQuota: 26214400
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        I have wrote a perl script that searchs for all entries in
Netscape
Directory and writes in OpenLDAP changing some attribute names,
attribute values and discarding attributes thal will not be used
(Netscape Messaging attributes) and adding attributes to QMail.

        Note that I have added the object class "qmailUser", the schema
to that
objectclass is found with QMail tarball package (source).

        I have configured the OpenLDAP with "schemacheck on" and there
is two
servers: Master and Slave. Both compiled to use BerkeleyDB (SleepCat).

        For a while the OpenLDAP looks like ok. ;-)

        Regards,
        Fábio Gomes
