Hi Colin,

you can use two different attributes (or the subtypes of an attribute). But it implies that the nss_ldap configuration file on development servers is different. That's the way we do it. Example:


the user entry :
dn: uid=test.user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com

loginShell: /bin/rbash
loginShell;devel: /bin/bash
uid: test.user
...

If you use RedHat/CentOS 5.x the only difference between the nss_ldap configuration files (/etc/ldap.conf) will be the mapping part on development servers :
nss_map_attribute loginShell loginShell;devel

This example uses the attribute subtype ';devel' but you are free to choose anything you like.

It's not a pure ldap solution, but rather a mix of ldap and server-side solution. Don't know whether it helps you but that's how we use it (this way,the same ldap user may have several "personalized" posix attributes depending on the /etc/ldap.conf configuration of the server) :
nss_map_attribute uidNumber uidNumber;devel
nss_map_attribute gidNumber gidNumber;devel
nss_map_attribute homeDirectory homeDirectory;devel
nss_map_attribute loginShell loginShell;devel

I have a pretty flat DIT, with all users currently under
ou=people,dc=example,dc=com; these user objects also have posixAccount
attributes, of which loginShell is one.

What I'm trying to achieve is to be able to set a "default" loginShell
to be a restricted shell (/bin/rbash) for developers, but allow that to
be a non-restricted shell on systems which are development hosts.

As an example, on a production host I'd like:

$ ldapsearch -x "(uid=devuser)" uid loginshell

to return:

dn: cn=Dev User,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
loginShell: /bin/rbash
uid: devuser

while on a development host, I'd like the same search to return

dn: cn=Dev User,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
loginShell: /bin/bash
uid: devuser
