Re: modify on the fly attributes sent to client

Hello,
Thanks for your feed back
So I've try to make somes tests to validate my rewrite rules.
Here's part of my slapd.conf:
moduleload rwm
...
overlay rwm
rwm-rewriteEngine on
rwm-rewriteContext default
rwm-map attribute company o
rwm-map attribute mailNickname mozillaNickName
it's work fine with company attribute: "company" is found both with two
clients. but for nickname, it's appear only with windows' client.
so I suppose that another attribute is match under mozilla client for
the organization attribute value, but nickname is wrote back but not copy
so my question is:
how can I specify that I wants to keep mozillaNickName attribute and
copy it's value for a mailNickName attribute?
Simply you can't; slapo-rwm(5) only maps attribute names, does not
duplicate them. There are two solutions:
1) write your own overlay that does what you need
2) use virtual databases to allow accessing the same data by two
different client types:
- use the real database for clients that use the real schema
- use a virtual database (namely, a virtual naming context referring to
the real one using slapd-relay(5)) which rewrites the naming context and
maps the desired attributes according to the schema you want to use.
So, for example:
database bdb
suffix dc=real
# searches for dc=real return mozillaNickName
database relay
suffix dc=virtual
overlay rwm
rwm-suffixmassage dc=real
rwm-map attribute company o
rwm-map attribute mailNickname mozillaNickName
# searches for dc=virtual return mozillaNickName
