Hi Sharad,
Currently - no such way.
Bare in mind you need to provide also the user ID.
In addition - it may be that not all DS providers hold information on
the users in the same way, and we perform some normalization in order
to
store them at DB in the same format.
However, I guess we can run this "Guid encoding" code at
engine-manage-domains, and then, it will be possible to add the user
(if
you provide the baseDN FQDN) to the system.
Feel free to suggest a patch ;)
In addition, an idea that popped to my head - let's say you want to
add
100 users this way - will you provide for every one of them the
baseDN?
Maybe we should be able to configure a fefault base DN per domain?
Hey,
We do have an entry in vdc_options called LdapServers.
It is a per-domain configuration, just like the other LDAP related configuration options.
When looking for LDAP servers, the engine uses the ones in this configuration. If empty,
it goes to the DNS.
Currently the engine-manage-domains utility doesn't set this option, but if you would
like to work with one LDAP server for testing purposes, or as a workaround, then you can
set it manually:
domain:1ldapserver1, domain2:ldapserver2....
Note that it only supports one LDAP server per domain.
