Subject: [Engine-devel] Any reason to use UUID instead of name or dn?
Hello all,
I am working on a series of changes with the objective to simplify the
LDAP layer and make it more generic. One of the things that I would like
to do is to use the name or dn attributes to identify the users/group
instead of the UUIDs as we currently do. Can someone explain me if there
is any powerful reason to use the directory specific UUIDs (objectGUID
in ActiveDirectory, nsUniqueId in RHDS, etc) instead of user/group names
or distinguished names?
Hi,
If you define an entity and then delete and define an entity at the same name, the new
entity should not inherit the permissions of the previous entity.
So resource based security always hold unique identifier for entities, it can be UUID, UID
or any unique string.
Regards,
Alon.
