What I want :
* if i'm "Ou=Users" member, for example "user1", with pam_ldap
suffix : "dc=example,dc=com" :
$ getent passwd
user1
user2
* if i'm "Ou=Foo" member, for example "user_b", with pam_ldap
suffix
: "dc=example,dc=com" :
$ getent passwd
user3
user4
Is it possible to do so without modifying the DIT structure ? (only
with ACL ?)
Rather unlikely, as 'getent passwd' is a Unix/Linux command that
gets to LDAP via NSS. The LDAP server will not know the identity of
the end-user, so cannot return different results to different
people.
Further, most systems that use NSS LDAP have a cache/proxy process
between the getent API and the LDAP client library. That means that
the LDAP client library sees *all* requests coming from the same
process and thus the same user ID.
If your 'Foo' users and your 'Users' users are on separate machines
then you could do something: move ou=Foo up alongside ou=Users and
configure NSS/PAM on each machine to access just the relevant
subtree.
