I am using OpenLDAP 2.4.11 with all overlays and all backends compiled. My company is in the middle if rebuilding our LDAP environment and we would like to use OpenLDAP + Syncrepl + RWM to neatly move objects into their new places within the DIT.
Our old DIT looks like:
ou=people,dc=company,dc=com uid=abc_jsmith uid=abc_jdoe uid=xyz_hsmith uid=xyz_dsmith
Our new DIT looks like:
ou=users,o=abc,dc=company,dc=com uid=abc_jsmith uid=abc_jdoe ou=users,o=xyz,dc=company,dc=com uid=xyz_hsmith uid=xyz_dsmith Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
As a complete aside, I'd note that your old method of organization is generally better long-term than your current method of organization. How are you categorizing people who belong to multiple organizations? How do you handle organization name changes? Etc. In administering a number of different directory servers over the years, I've found it to be better to be much more general in your categorization (as in your old DIT) with attributes inside the entry indicating such things as what organization(s) the individual belongs to, then to being more specific in the categorization of people, as things (such as organization names) tend to change over time, and if you've developed applications that depend on the organizational tree structure, they become quite a pain to maintain.
