Do you use something like cn=My Name,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com with
uid in the entry or uid=ghenry,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com ?
[Qian] Sorry, I am new to LDAP, can you please let me know how to figure out which way I am using for DN format? By some ldap commands?
BTW, I installed and setup LDAP in a default way, so I guess the DN format should be "uid=ghenry,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com" because when I login my machine with uid, it works, but if I login with common name, it fails.
2012/7/28 Gavin Henry ghenry@suretecsystems.com:
If that is true, should I add a restriction that the uid of each user must be unique in the whole OpenLDAP server?
That's indeed a good practice.
It depends how you've built your entries. If the RDN has uid in it it will be unique anyway.
Do you use something like cn=My Name,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com with uid in the entry or uid=ghenry,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com ?
Thanks.
