[Freeipa-users] Adding FreeIPA as a vsphere identity source

[reesb at hushmail.com]

Opps, I got that wrong, my groups don't show the 'uniqueMember' attribute. Here is an example returned from ldapsearch;

# admins, groups, compat, localdomain.local
dn: cn=admins,cn=groups,cn=compat,dc=localdomain,dc=local
gidNumber: 756200000
memberUid: admin
memberUid: vadmin
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
objectClass: top
cn: admins

Hi Martin,

Using my vadmin account, "uid=vadmin,cn=users,cn=compat,dc=localdomain,dc=local", the search completes successfully and i get a list of my users and groups however when I've watched the ldap queries between vcenter and freeipa I can see it's applying a filter to the user search looking for 'objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames' which my groups don't seem to contain.


I'm very much an ldap newbie but I thought at step two in the vsphere integration howto I modified the groups schema to include that object class?

Given that this HOWTO does not use the vanilla Schema Compatibility settings
(FreeIPA Compat Tree by default uses posixGroup objectclass and memberUid
attribute for user membership), I would check if the groups really have the
right objectclass and uniqueMember generated:

# ldapsearch -D "VSPHERE_DN" -x -w "$VSPHERE_DN_PASSWORD" -b
"cn=groups,cn=compat,dc=localdomain,dc=local"

I expect there will be some problem preventing the LDAP search to succeed. Then
we would know where to look next.
