Would there be anything wrong with Fedora DS just forcing
userAccountControl = 512? Or are more options needed in the user
creation dialog?
I'm not sure. 1.1.3 included a "fix" for userAccountControl. The
way
it works now is this:
add new AD entry over LDAP - no userAccountControl attribute is
present,
so it must use some sort of AD default value
read the new AD entry - get the userAccountControl value
set AD entry userAccountControl |= 0x200 # 512 == normal account)
So you might try a simple test - add a new AD entry over LDAP
outside of
windows sync - see what the default userAccountControl value is -
I'm
guessing that adding a new AD entry without specifying
userAccountControl sets it to PASSWD_NOTREQ + ACCOUNTDISABLE
Yes, users created via LDAP are disabled unless you explicitly
provide
the userAccountControl attribute (with proper flags) in the LDAP Add
operation. I tripped over this myself the first time I loaded up a
test database in AD. (It also gave me a Fine Opportunity to time how
long it took to LDAP Modify all of the users in my test database.
ugh...)
Then this is a bug in the winsync code. In the ADD case, it should
just
force userAccountControl to the Normal value. In the MOD case, it
should |= the value. John, can you open a bug about this issue?
Thanks.
Done - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470224
There are other values of userAccountControl that an administrator
might want to set when creating users. One example is
DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWORD - so is there a need for the userAccountControl
flags to be configurable on a create user dialog such as that in
fedora-idm-console or phpldapadmin rather than hard coded?
John
P.S. Sorry about the totally useless subject line earlier in this
thread.
