Re: ldap specifying host attribute

I am trying to set up a host based authentication.

What exactly does that mean in your context?

For that ,am modifying the host attribute of existing users through an ldif file as below

dn: uid=sam,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify add: objectClass objectClass: hostObject

Using 'hostObject' for human users does not sound like a good choice.

Object class 'account' has "MAY host" in its object class description.

add: host host: abc host: xyz

Is there a way I can put the lidt of hosts in a single line something like this

host: xyz abc

You can do that but why? Which LDAP client does expect the hosts to be in e.g. a space separated list.
