<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">After a while I got my 389ds ldap now
up and running for users accounts, groups, dns and dhcp. Everything fine
fast and stable (even I am running it on OpenSuse). </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">But I got a question on how to realize
a certain idea with 389ds.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I got a central LDAP directory. It contains
all data. I am having different subnets but want to have a central user
management.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Each subnet has different dedicated
servers for user homeaccounts and each subnet has its own ldap server (replication
consumer) to which each subnet referrs to. This is due to security/fault
tolerance considerations and also due to different subsidiaries with sometimes
slow network connection.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Example User "John":</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">He logs in in subnet A (eg from IP 192.168.1.100):</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Unix homeaccount: /Servers/SubnetAServer/Users/John</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Samba homeaccount: \\SubnetAServer\Users\John</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">He logs in in subnet B (eg from IP 192.168.2.100):</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Unix homeaccount: /Servers/SubnetBServer/Users/John</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Samba homeaccount: \\SubnetBServer\Users\John</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">(It is not possible to mask the servername
for each subnet to be the same by dns).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Means the ldap search needs to return
different attribute values when the search is performed from different
subnets (all other values - like uids - shall remain constant). I don't
want to have different user trees. User sometimes travel from subsidary
to subsidary or are using different subnets at the same time. Can this
be done by views or class of service or some other tricks/plugins? Has
anyone done this already?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,</font>
