Hi,
I am working on authenticating OpenLDAP client with AD server. I saw lots of examples which map the rfc2307bis schema using nss_schema attribute in ldap.conf file
# Enable support for RFC2307bis (distinguished names in group # members) nss_schema rfc2307bis
and also, map the attributes of the rfc2307bis to the AD server schema attributes.
nss_map_attribute uid msSFU30Name nss_map_attribute uidNumber msSFU30UidNumber nss_map_attribute gidNumber msSFU30GidNumber nss_map_attribute loginShell msSFU30LoginShell nss_map_attribute gecos name nss_map_attribute userPassword msSFU30Password nss_map_attribute homeDirectory msSFU30HomeDirectory
Isn't there a way I can fetch the schema from the AD server and set it using nss_schema ?.
Basically, I am looking at fetching the schema/objectClass/Attributes from the LDAP/AD server and make them as a client schema's so that I don't have to keep doing the mapping using nss_map_attribute and nss_schema.
I am new to LDAP world, and I am sorry if I my question doesn't make any sense.
I have seen lots of enterprise products which integrate with LDAP/AD. They provide a user interface to map the server side schema objectClass and attributes. I am trying to see if I can get rid of this and do it internally.
Thanks, Vinay
