As an example lwat stores in its configuration the last used uid, instead of searching it dinamically in the ldap database, so sometimes there are database corruptions if other tools are used to create accounts. > Therefore: Please do describe in more detail what it is you need in > Extremadura - to inspire those working on CipUX, GoSA or other LDAP > tools, to help tune inot such kind of large-deployment needs (and > perhaps even offer solutions concretely!). > > As I've commented about, lwat fulfilled the needs quite well, except by its bugs. We don't need a bloated tool, just create and modify user accounts and machine groups from the admin point of view, and changing passwords for the end user interface. No more, no less. Also, as the tool is installed in several hundred of schools, it should work out of the box, without the need of manual configuration. Regards.
