https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243205 Resolves: bug 243205Bug Description: allow instance creation with no .inf file; allow pre-hashed RootDNPwd
Reviewed by: ??? Files: see diff Branch: HEADFix Description: You can now use ds_newinst.pl without (or with) a .inf file like this:
ds_newinst.pl General.SuiteSpotUserID=nobody slapd.ServerPort=3890 ....The parameters can be supplied via the command line. The format of the parameter is section.param=value. Normal shell quoting rules apply, so you still have to do something like this:
ds_newinst.pl "slapd.Suffix=dc=example, dc=com"for embedded spaces and the like. If you supply a filename (or '-'), it must be the first argument after ds_newinst.pl. If you then supply additional arguments after the filename, these will override the settings in the given inf file. So, for example, you could reuse the same .inf file, except provide a different hostname:
ds_newinst.pl basefile.inf General.FullMachineName=bar.example.comThis allows you to use the same base .inf file for several machines, and only change certain parameters on a per-machine basis. ds_newinst.pl will now fill in some default values - it will use Net::Domain::hostfqdn for FullMachineName, and your login ID for SuiteSpotUserID (however, not if running ds_newinst.pl as root), and will construct the Suffix and ServerIdentifier based on the FullMachineName. RootDN will default to cn=Directory Manager. ServerRoot is no longer required. Another enhancement is the ability to provide a pre-hashed password for the RootDNPwd parameter, to avoid having to pass around the clear text directory manager password. However, some caveats apply. If the password begins with one of the well known hash algorithms (e.g. {SHA, {SSHA, etc.), ds_newinst will assume it is already hashed. This may cause problems if users expect to be able to provide a clear text password such as {SSHA}text, but I seriously doubt anyone does that (famous last words . . .). Another problem is that the code as it currently stands uses the clear text password to bind to the server after starting the server to add some additional entries and ACIs. This cannot be done if a pre-hashed password is provided (but we're working on a solution to that problem too).
write_ldap_info() is no longer needed. Finally, a couple of minor bug fixes. Platforms tested: RHEL4 Flag Day: no Doc impact: Yes. There will be some documentation changes required. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=156518&action=diff
