Hey;
Here's the end goal: Have the ability to have posixgroup style support for gid <-> group_name translation and the ability to use memberof style searches without data duplication.
In short:
# ldapsearch -xLLL -s sub '(uid=doleary)' memberof dn: uid=doleary,ou=users,dc=oci,dc=com memberOf: cn=infra,ou=groups,dc=oci,dc=com memberOf: cn=ldap-Administrators,ou=groups,dc=oci,dc=com memberOf: cn=infosec,ou=groups,dc=oci,dc=com memberOf: cn=dba,ou=groups,dc=oci,dc=com
and
# groups doleary doleary : ldap-users ldap-Administrators infosec infra
Using a standard rfc2307 install, the only way I was able to get there was by having duplicate groups, one posix and one groupofnames.
I've been playing around with rfc2307bis the last few days. While I'm able to have one group, in order to support the desired functionality, I still have to have two member types in that group - member and memberuid:
# ldap -search cn=infra ----------------------------------------------------------------------- dn:cn=infra,ou=groups,dc=oci,dc=com
cn: infra objectClass: top groupOfNames posixGroup member: cn=admin,dc=oci,dc=com uid=doleary,ou=users,dc=oci,dc=com description: System Admins gidNumber: 610 memberUid: doleary
Short version: is there a way to achieve this ability without duplicating data?
Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
