Another Workaround for ConsoleOne Templates
Problem
In the Cool Solutions article "Workarounds for ConsoleOne Templates (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/15452.html), Peter suggests using ConsoleOne over NWAdmin in order to avoid LDAP issues. I have a few things to add to his comments.
The problem that TID 10075451 talks about is the need for a UniqueID attribute on each user, which ConsoleOne by default populates with the value of CN. For example, you could create a user BobSmith, CN=BobSmith and UniqueID=BobSmith, but NWAdmin does not populate this attribute.
Solution
If you're using LDAP utilities that require UniqueID, here's a workaround:
- Go to the LDAP Group object for the LDAP server.
- In the Attribute Mappings page, change the LDAP UID to NDS UniqueID mapping, to point at the NDS CN.
Note: Be sure that this mapping is what you want, as it will affect all servers associated with the LDAP group.
Disclaimer: As with everything else at Cool Solutions, this content is definitely not supported by Novell (so don't even think of calling Support if you try something and it blows up).
It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
