i have the following problem: i have installed and OpenLDAP server in which in the people/users tree the distinguished name have the following format:
Distinguished Name: cn=Luigi Rossi,ou=people,dc=prisma,dc=local
The problem is i wish to replace it using the uid (a.k.a. the account username) instead of the CN in order to have something like this
Distinguished Name: uid=lrossi,ou=people,dc=prisma,dc=local
I need this because i'm configuring ldap authentication for Alfresco Community 4.0.d and it need the username
ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=uid=%s,ou=people,dc=prisma,dc=local
Any help?
It's an old post but I ran into this myself. The answer was actually pretty simple. If you're using phpldapadmin to create accounts, you need to edit the posixAccount template. Look for the <rdn></rdn> tags. Replace the cn with uid and save. Your accounts will now be created with a DN in the "uid=%s,dc=example,dc=com" form instead of "cn=%s,dc=example,dc=com"
