Hello everybody,

I'm front a problem with my openldap 2.3.30 server software and hope you can give me help to solve it. problem is the following one: I use a mozilla schema for my address book but need to make it compliant with another one (window's one) I have found some matching fields from my current model to windows model's one but don't wants to duplicate them and don't wants to define a schema for the window's model. Is there a way to rewrite answer to "add" a field with the value of one of the answer in the answer send to client? for example it's seems that "mozillaNickname" is equal to "surname" in the windows schema, but I don't wants to make a schema for the window's model and just want to send the mozillaNickName attribute and value with a copy of the value for an attribute surname. best regards,

Matthieu

Hello,

Thanks for your feed back So I've try to make somes tests to validate my rewrite rules. Here's part of my slapd.conf:

moduleload rwm ...

overlay rwm rwm-rewriteEngine on rwm-rewriteContext default rwm-map attribute company o rwm-map attribute mailNickname mozillaNickName

it's work fine with company attribute: "company" is found both with two clients. but for nickname, it's appear only with windows' client. so I suppose that another attribute is match under mozilla client for the organization attribute value, but nickname is wrote back but not copy so my question is: how can I specify that I wants to keep mozillaNickName attribute and copy it's value for a mailNickName attribute?

Simply you can't; slapo-rwm(5) only maps attribute names, does not duplicate them. There are two solutions:

1) write your own overlay that does what you need

2) use virtual databases to allow accessing the same data by two different client types: - use the real database for clients that use the real schema - use a virtual database (namely, a virtual naming context referring to the real one using slapd-relay(5)) which rewrites the naming context and maps the desired attributes according to the schema you want to use.

So, for example:

database bdb suffix dc=real # searches for dc=real return mozillaNickName

database relay suffix dc=virtual overlay rwm rwm-suffixmassage dc=real rwm-map attribute company o rwm-map attribute mailNickname mozillaNickName # searches for dc=virtual return mozillaNickName
