Can you show me the result of
/usr/lib64/mozldap/ldapsearch -b "ou=Desks,o=a100,o=Internal,dc=ssiservices,dc=biz" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w - -h ldap uid=jasiii objectClass

It will list all the objectClasses of your entry. If "objectClass: inetUser" is not present in the result of this search you should, as i said in the previous message, add this objectClass to all the entries you're going to manage with memberOf plug-in, smth like:

dn: uid=jasiii,ou=Desks,o=a100,o=Internal,dc=ssiservices,dc=biz
changetype: add
objectclass: inetUser

Hope it helps .



2009/5/22 John A. Sullivan III <jsullivan@opensourcedevel.com>
I'm starting to feel really stupid here - still not working.

I thought the filter must be the problem for sure.  I assumed from the
documentation that no filter meant the task would add the attribute for
everything that could take a memberOf attribute.  I did not realize it
defaulted to inetuser.  So I recreated the task with a filter of
(objectClass=inetOrgPerson) but it still did not seem to work.

I thought perhaps I was doing ldapmodify wrong (enter the parameters,
double enter, then CTL D) so I edited the fixup-memberof.pl script
according to Rich's instructions.  It ran without error (by the way, it
reflects the admin password when using -w - !!!).  But still no success.

Perhaps I am checking incorrectly.  I did not expect to see memberOf
listed as an attribute in the advanced console screen for the user since
it is a managed attribute.  But I did try to view it with an ldapsearch:
It should be visible as an attribute you can add (provided your entry has "objectClass: inetUser")

 


/usr/lib64/mozldap/ldapsearch -b
"ou=Desks,o=a100,o=Internal,dc=ssiservices,dc=biz" -D "cn=Directory
Manager" -w - -h ldap uid=jasiii memberOf

Is this how I would check for success?

There is nothing suspicious in the error log.  I do have the audit log
enabled.  I see the creation and automatic deletion of the task but I do
not see any changes to objects to add and populate the memberOf
attribute.  I'll paste in some excerpts below.

What next? Thanks - John
