Hello, all. We are in the process of upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1. We've hit a few glitches along the way but most has gone well. However, we wanted to implement the new memberOf functionality. We successfully added the plugin by editing dse.ldif and enabled it from the console. However, we've been unsuccessful in having existing group membership assigned to the memberOf attribute. We first tried to run fixup-memberOf.pl but the script does not exist. There is a template.fixup-memberOf.pl but this does not seem to have been built into a final script. We then thought we would use the new task feature of the console. We went to cn=memberof task,cn=tasks,cn=config and tried to create the task object. There was no nsDirectoryServerTask objectclass. We added an nstask but then found there was no basedn attribute we could add. We then created an extensibleobject instead but still not basedn attribute. Finally, we resorted to ldapmodify (we hesitated just because we are not very familiar with the command line tools). First, we did: dn: cn=fixMemberOf,cn=memberof task,cn=tasks,cn=config changetype: add objectclass: top objectclass: extensibleObject cn: fixMemberOf basedn: o=Internal,dc=ssiservices,dc=biz The Internal Organization has several organizations under it (for various clients) and then user organizational units under those organizations. Although it generated no errors, it did not seem to work. Perhaps I just don't know how to test it. However, the following did not return an memberOf data: /usr/lib64/mozldap/ldapsearch -b "ou=Users,o=client1,o=Internal,dc=ssiservices,dc=biz" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w - -h ldap uid=myid memberOf Doing /usr/lib64/mozldap/ldapsearch -b "ou=Users,o=client1,o=Internal,dc=ssiservices,dc=biz" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w - -h ldap uid=myid showed me plenty of attributes but nothing for memberOf I also tried creating the task with a basedn of ou=Users,o=client1,o=Internal,dc=ssiservices,dc=biz in case it did not change objects lower in the tree. Still no success. Finally I tried: dn: cn=fixMemberOf,cn=memberof task,cn=tasks,cn=config changetype: add objectclass: top objectclass: nsDirectoryServerTask cn: fixMemberOf basedn: o=Internal,dc=ssiservices,dc=biz adding new entry cn=fixMemberOf,cn=memberof task,cn=tasks,cn=config ldap_add: Object class violation ldap_add: additional info: unknown object class "nsDirectoryServerTask" And received the expected unknown object class error. What are we doing wrong? Are these documentation bugs? Are there application bugs or do we simply not know what we are doing with tasks and memberOf? How do we get the memberOf information into our existing user objects? Thanks - John -- John A.
