Hi Nathan,

Thanks. Yes it was a stupid Typo. Is there any way to modify/delete entries created by the Managed Entries plugin?

When I try to delete those group entries it denies say "It needs to be Manually Unlinked" not sure how to un-link them. Any idea on that?

You have to remove objectclass: mepManagedEntry and mepManagedBy: uid=jsmith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com from the group entry

Hello,

I am deploying the 389 server (On CentOS 6) to manage the Linux Users/Password. So as part of Linux User management, I was trying to get the Managed Entries work for Posix user creation.

I am following the standard Redhat documentation.

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/html-single/Deployment_Guide/index.html#managed-entries

So I created the templates, exactly the way explained in the doc, but when I create the users it is not creating corresponding Groups.

I am using following ldap commands to add entries. I could see the this plugin created in from the console server -> data -> Plugins -> Managed Entries -> <My plugin>


User creation statements


dn: uid=pappu1,ou=People,dc=ma,dc=net
objectclass: person
objectclass: inetorgperson
objectclass: posixAccount
cn: Pappu
sn: Papa
givenName: pappu1
uid:pappu1
uidNumber:9003
gidNumber:9003
objectclass: mepOriginEntry
mepManagedEntry: cn=Pappu Group
homeDirectory: /home/pappu1

The plugin

dn: cn=Posix User-Group,cn=Managed Entries,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn: Posix User-Group
originScope: ou=people,dc=ma,dc=ma

You have a typo in your originScope setting.  It should be "ou=people,dc=ma,dc=net".

-NGK

originFilter: objectclass=posixAccount
managedBase: ou=groups,dc=ma,dc=net
managedTemplate: cn=Posix User-Group Template,ou=Templates,dc=ma,dc=net

The template

dn: cn=Posix User-Group Template, ou=Templates,dc=ma,dc=net
objectclass: mepTemplateEntry
cn: Posix User-Group Template
mepRDNAttr: cn
mepStaticAttr: objectclass: posixGroup
mepMappedAttr: cn: $cn Group Entry
mepMappedAttr: gidNumber: $gidNumber
mepMappedAttr: memberUid: $uid
