I inherited an ldap with odd design. It has a custom attribute as the rdn in the dn for all entries. The rdn is not the uid. People entries are provisioned automatically and users choose a uid after their entry has been created for login purposes. The custom attribute for the rdn serves as a unique identifier. The uid is also unique. I found that getting products to work with this ldap is difficult because they expect the uid to be in the dn.
Which products have problems?
Comments? Should I put the uid back in the dn? Seems like it would make my life a lot simpler.
Sure. A simple modrdn when the uid is assigned.
And what methods are best to create entries for users without a uid? Maybe assign a temp and have them change it? Or just assign them which is always the easiest. Thanks.
Either way, but the former sounds like more work.
