Hi,
We're investigating replacing our Centos openldap system with FreeIPA to authenticate
users on our Apple desktops. So far so good, we have migrated from openldap to FreeIPA, we
can login users into desktops using kerberos etc etc
They get a local home directory as e.g. /Users/fred and in the past we have then run a
simple script which checks the contents of the LDAP attribute sambaHomePath for the server
hostname and username e.g. sambaHomePath: samba1/fred
This script then mounts samba1:/fred as a network drive and users can then find their
network server files on /Volumes/fred
This has worked well for the last few years and I see from using slapcat sambaHomePath is
set for each user with freeipa but the standard ldapseach -x ... tool does not see it.
Is there a simple way of unhiding this attribute so when a user runs ldapsearch -x -h ipa1
uid=`whoami` we get the answer?
It's taken a few days to get IPA setup so the Mac's can authenticate but I think
if we 'solve' this last issue then we're done.
Thanks
