Hello, We had some bad experiences manipulating 99users.ldif in the past. I confirm that Rich's method is the good one. To do so, we setted up several schemas : # ls /etc/dirsrv/<slapd-instance>/schema 00core.ldif 20subscriber.ldif 50ns-directory.ldif *91supann.ldif* 01common.ldif 25java-object.ldif 50ns-mail.ldif *92inrp.ldif* 05rfc2247.ldif 28pilot.ldif 50ns-value.ldif *93radius.ldif* 05rfc2927.ldif 30ns-common.ldif 50ns-web.ldif *94fw1.ldif* 10presence.ldif 50ns-admin.ldif 60pam-plugin.ldif 99user.ldif 10rfc2307.ldif 50ns-certificate.ldif *90eduperson.ldif* We used 9x prefixes to avoid collisions with futur schemas : *90eduperson.ldif : is for Internet 2* *91supann.ldif : is for French Academic adaptations to Internet 2 **92inrp.ldif : is for local attributes (instead of 99user !) **93radius.ldif : is for radius serveur (eduroam services) **94fw1.ldif : is for CheckPoint Firewall 1 RemoteSecure (VPN) users These schemas are installed before FDS first start. ** *These are classes setted up for employees : dn: uid=<my user>,ou=people,dc=inrp,dc=fr objectClass: supannPerson objectClass: eduPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount objectClass: inetorgPerson objectClass: inrpPerson objectClass: inrpLan objectClass: inrpWifi objectClass: fw1person objectClass: mailRecipient objectClass: ntUser The people branch drives : postfix, Active Directory, unix ftp, radius, Intranet applications...(not exhaustive) Successful tests with MacOS X and pGina (Windows LDAP/Gina pam module without a domain controler) Regards, Jan-Frode Myklebust a ?crit : > We just had a bit of a scary situation..
