NIS Networks

Goal

We want to map the following entry from /etc/networks:

default         0.0.0.0

into the following LDAP entry in Penrose:

dn: cn=default,ou=Networks,dc=NIS,dc=Example,dc=com
objectClass: ipNetwork
ipNetworkNumber: 0.0.0.0
cn: default

Solution

First we create the source:

<source name="networks">

    <connection-name>NIS</connection-name>

    <field name="cn" primaryKey="true"/>
    <field name="ipNetworkNumber"/>

    <parameter>
      <param-name>objectClasses</param-name>
      <param-value>ipNetwork</param-value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <param-name>base</param-name>
      <param-value>system/networks</param-value>
    </parameter>
    <parameter>
      <param-name>scope</param-name>
      <param-value>ONELEVEL</param-value>
    </parameter>

</source>

Then we create the mapping:

<entry dn="cn=...,ou=Networks,dc=NIS,dc=Example,dc=com">

    <oc>ipNetwork</oc>

    <at name="cn" rdn="true">
      <variable>n.primaryKey.cn</variable>
    </at>
    <at name="cn">
      <variable>n.cn</variable>
    </at>
    <at name="ipNetworkNumber">
      <variable>n.ipNetworkNumber</variable>
    </at>

    <source name="n">
      <source-name>networks</source-name>
      <field name="cn">
        <variable>cn</variable>
      </field>
      <field name="ipNetworkNumber">
        <variable>ipNetworkNumber</variable>
      </field>
    </source>

</entry>
