hello all,
i've a couple of problems, but before, maybe is better if i'll show you the
scenario.
We have given our students the opprotunity to access to the net (just
http and https) and for the autentication we use fds. There is (among a lot
of other ou's) an ou and a static group used for autentication purposes. I
get students' data in csv format from Oracle and by the means of a shell
script I convert them into ldif then I add, delete and update the LDAP via
ldapmodify.
Maybe my script isn't a masterpiece of style, but it works fine, and for
my purposes, at the moment, is good; sometimes it happens to me to get
errors while modifying the static group: logs report something like "could
not find value 0 (or 25, or 29, or so on) for attr uniqueMember (no such
attribute)". Now, since there isn't any value like 0 (or anyway numeric) for
uniqueMember attribute (we use social security code that is alphanumerical
and starts with 6 letters) I can only suppose that is a csv fault, that it
depends on how Oracle exports in csv queries results, but sincerely I simply
don't know how it happens. The worst is that the ldapmodify stops
immediately even if in the function call I'm using -c switch, that works
fine when operating on the ou, but simply seems not to be working when
operating on statica group.
And, second problem: I've thought to build a script that exports data
from LDAP with a db2ldif, both static group and ou, then adjusting ldif
files by the means of an executable that extracts just SS codes and sorts
them and finally makes a diff between result files (or simply counts their
lines) the way to see if ou and static group differ and in case, sending an
alert to my e-mail address (soon my script will be "cron-ized").
If I do that via java console, it works fine, but as soon as I launch
the db2ldif -a /tmp/myFile.ldif -s "ou=myOU, dc=myDomain, dc=it" it fails
with an "there is no backend instance to export from" (same thing if instead
of -s switch I use -n switch and if I use "cn=myStaticGroup, ou=gruppi,
dc=myDomain, dc=it" as object of -s switch), while if I say
db2ldif -a /tmp/myFile.ldif -s "dc=myDomain, dc=it", it works fine and
exports anything. Obviously, writing an executable that extracts the content
of my ou and my static group from the entire db is not my secret dream!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Stefi
