Hi,

yes that is another possibility I wanted to show you. By searching I found another, but probably not open, method to do it. http://www.likewise.com/

Good luck.

Hi Benjamin,

Are you hinting at running the openldap server instead of openldap client and sync the required accounts using replication and authenticate againt the openldap server locally ?

Thanks, Vinay

Hi vinay,

you may take a look at this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/acctsync/

It's not exactly what you want, but can help you reaching the goal. :)

Bye, Benjamin.

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
