Hi there,

I'm the developer who submitted to the Fedora GSOC project.

If you want to know more I would advise that you read about dsadm and
dsconf on our wiki:

http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/dsadm-dsconf.html

A lot of work has already gone into the project, and can be found in the
lib389 repository. This is here:

https://pagure.io/lib389/tree/master

This is a system able to setup and build new Directory Server instances.
The command line tools are found:

https://pagure.io/lib389/blob/master/f/cli
https://pagure.io/lib389/blob/master/f/lib389/cli_conf
https://pagure.io/lib389/blob/master/f/lib389/tests/cli

These work by consuming our LDAP orm system which is implemented here:

https://pagure.io/lib389/blob/master/f/lib389/_mapped_object.py

And an example of the consumption of this is:

https://pagure.io/lib389/blob/master/f/lib389/plugins.py


* What would be your assigned task:

-- We would be looking for you to setup and deploy your own ldap server,
and understand how the plugins work.
-- We would then want you to add the components to plugins.py, so that
tests and the cli can manipulate those plugins.
-- You would be wiring in the plugin management command to cli_conf
-- finally, and most importantly, the cli and plugins.py code is fully
unit tested.

I hope this helps you,
