As a newbie LDAP-user, I'm trying to store an existing
database-structure into an ldap-tree structure.
I have a problem in storing profiles of entities into LDAP.
Also the storing of a groupEntity seems to be a problem for me...
Can anyone out there help me ?
Can anyone tell me which classes, attributes, parameters to use ?
First, the profile problem :
A profile consists of one or more parameter that have a value. The
number of parameters is not fixed, nor the parameter itself.
In the dbms-system the structure was as follows :
table Entity
EntityID
ProfileID
table Profile
ProfileID
table profilesection
ProfileID
parameter_name
parameter_value
Which attribute, objectclass,... can I use to contain these values in an
LDAP-structure.
According to me, the whole LDAP-tree to create should look like this :
e.g.
- Entities
- Entity1
- parameter1 -> value1
- parameter2 -> value2
- parameter..x -> value..x
-Entity2
- parrameter x -> value x
- Groups
- group1
-Entity1
-Entity2
-Entityx
The group problem :
How about a group that can contain another group ?
(An entity that can recursively conain other entities).
In the dbms, the structure is as follows :
Group
GroupID
Name
Group_destination
groups_source (this is the GroupID)
groups_destination (this can be any entityID (also a groupID))
In LDAP :
-Entities
- Groups
-Group1
-Group2
-User9
-Group2
-Group9
-User4
-Group3
-Group1
-e.g. Users
-User4
- parameter1 -> value1
- parameter2 -> value2
- parameter..x -> value..x
-User5
:
So :
-Group1 consists of Group2, User9, Group4, User4
-Group2 consists of Group9, User4
-Group3 consists of Group1, Group2, User9
Thanks
