Hi Simon,
We're trying to connect an owncloud (nextcloud soon) server to the ldap
of the tjener, but we probably need the memberof overly in the ldap
database (see for an example
http://blog.adimian.com/2014/10/how-to-enable-memberof-using-openldap/)
Though I'm a sysadmin, I'm not familiar with ldap and I don't know if
this is possible in the tjener without breaking anything.
Has anyone tried this, or does anyone know if this will break the tjener
functionality?
No, adding the memberOf overlay will not break anything.
The overlay does not actually touch any data. It tracks changes to the members
of groups, and returns its knowledge when asked for it specifically.
The memberOf attribute will also not show up in any results unless added to
the attribute list specifically when querying the LDAP server.
While this answers your question, I'd like to ask why you think this is needed
for ownCloud/nextCloud. I did not need it in any of the ownCloud/LDAP
installations I set up so far.
Cheers,
Nik
Hi did you succeed? I struggled a lot with the fact that I got only
Admin or Teachers or Students LDAP imported into Owncloud, but not
all of them, because these users groups are in different positions
in the LDAP tree.
