> > | LDAP @ CITHEP systemsThis is a short tutorial on how to do some operations using PHPLDAPAdmin. Assuming that you already know a bit about LDAP, focusing on the specifics to get the job done.Connecting to PLAURL is : http://cms-ldap2.caltech.edu/phpldapadmin/![]()
Managing usersOur schema was mostly standard, so I didn't have to do anything for the system to recognize all users and groups already in place. Beautiful. What got tricky was to insert new users as the default template was missing some objectClasses we need and also defaulting some fields that we don't want. I had to create a new account template adapting to our needs. Almost everything is already in place. Could be better but is already MUCH better than the hassle we had crafting LDIFs by hand. So here are the steps :
Adding users to groupsThere's also a section "ou=groups (48)" that is pretty obvious. Just click on the group you want to add, have the uid in hand, add an entry at the end similar to the ones above (same thing as with the LDIFs). Advantage is that it will show you the diff before commiting. For the basic operations we need now, that's all you need to know.Future possibilities
