Sync additional Windows attributes

[Chris Visser]

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help previously with syncing OUs recursively from Windows.

Right now however I've hit another snag.  I would like to sync the windows Attribute
called msExchMailboxGuid to my 389-DS.

After doing some research I found that it's a single value, octect string and created
a user defined attribute.

> From my 99user.ldif file: 
<SNIP>
attributeTypes: ( msExchMailboxGuid-oid NAME 'msExchMailboxGuid'  SYNTAX 1.3.6
 .1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.40 SINGLE-VALUE X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )

I hoped that the same logic as with the OUs would apply, if it exists it'll be
populated.  Unfortunately this isn't true.

The documentation I read on docs.redhat.com shows me how Windows attributes are mapped
locally, but not how to sync additional attributes.

Anywhere else to look? Tips?

There is currently no way to sync additional
attributes.  Please file a 
ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/389

No workarounds?  I'd like to check if a user has an Exchange mailbox to help with mail
routing.

Not in 389

I suppose you could write your own external script to grab that 
attribute from AD and write it to 389.

Hi,
Maybe you could be interested in having a look to this external engine:

http://lsc-project.org/wiki/

To be honest, I have not yet had time to try it out by myself, but on the
paper it should do the trick.
If yes, please share your experiences.
