Please look here for details: <a href="http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Linked_Attributes_Design#Configuration">http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Linked_Attributes_Design#Configuration</a> In short, you need to use "linkType" and "managedType" instead of "linkAttribute" and "managedAttribute" in your config entry that you have referenced below. -NGK <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The following was added to my dse.ldif:<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> dn: cn=Manager Link, cn=Linked Attributes,cn=plugins,cn=config<o:p></o:p> objectClass: extensibleObject<o:p></o:p> objectClass: top<o:p></o:p> cn: Manager Link<o:p></o:p> linkattribute: directReport<o:p></o:p> managedattribute: linkmanager<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Both the linkattribute “directReport” and managedattribute “linkmanager” are custom attributes added as “MAY” to a custom “employee” objectclass, to which 3 test users have as an attribute value.

I found this <a href="http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Linked_Attributes_Design">http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Linked_Attributes_Design</a> but that is the extent of the documentation that I have found. Does anyone know of any additional documentation that you can point me to? <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> I am unclear on exactly how to configure Linked Attributes properly, and how to use them. Specifically, which ldif file would I need to modify to create a linked attribute? Would that be dse.ldif, or one of the ldif’s in the schema sub-folder (/etc/dirsrv/slapd-<instance_name>/schema)? What else would I need to know to configure a linked attribute? What do I need to know about it’s usage? <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Once I have the details I can post some documentation back to the community- there is nothing in the RedHat Directory Server on this plugin as of yet that I have seen. I don’t think that this can be done through the GUI at this time…<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Thanks in advance for the community’s help.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> SB<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>--<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>389 users mailing list<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="mailto:389-users@redhat.com">389-users@redhat.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre> <o:p></o:p></pre> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html>
