How to do this best with 389ds

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi...

After a while I got my 389ds ldap now up and running for users accounts, 
groups, dns and dhcp. Everything fine fast and stable (even I am running 
it on OpenSuse). 

But I got a question on how to realize a certain idea with 389ds.

I got a central LDAP directory. It contains all data. I am having 
different subnets but want to have a central user management.
Each subnet has different dedicated servers for user homeaccounts and each 
subnet has its own ldap server (replication consumer) to which each subnet 
referrs to. This is due to security/fault tolerance considerations and 
also due to different subsidiaries with sometimes slow network connection.

Example User "John":
He logs in in subnet A (eg from IP 192.168.1.100):
Unix homeaccount: /Servers/SubnetAServer/Users/John
Samba homeaccount: \\SubnetAServer\Users\John

He logs in in subnet B (eg from IP 192.168.2.100):
Unix homeaccount: /Servers/SubnetBServer/Users/John
Samba homeaccount: \\SubnetBServer\Users\John

(It is not possible to mask the servername for each subnet to be the same 
by dns).

Means the ldap search needs to return different attribute values when the 
search is performed from different subnets (all other values - like uids - 
shall remain constant). I don't want to have different user trees. User 
sometimes travel from subsidary to subsidary or are using different 
subnets at the same time. Can this be done by views or class of service or 
some other tricks/plugins?  Has anyone done this already?

Thanks in advance,

Roland
