Registration of the schema

The linuxmuster.net association (Linuxmuster.net e.V. https://www.linuxmuster.net) has registered a schema:

• At: http://pen.iana.org/pen/PenApplication.page
• PEN: 47512
• Organization Name: linuxmuster.net e.V.
• Contact E-mail and Contact Name see at 47512:

  • 1.3.6.1.4.1.47512.2... (linbo? ...)
  • 1.3.6.1.4.1.47512.3...

Schema attributes:

• The files that configure the schema can be found here:
  • https://github.com/linuxmuster/sophomorix4/tree/bionic/sophomorix-samba/schema
• Show the attributes on an installed server:
  • All sophomorix attributes sophomorix-samba --show-sophomorix-attributes
  • One attribute in detail: sophomorix-samba --show-attribute <attribute>

Special attributes

The schema has some unused attributes, that can be used for upcoming stuff.

For use by an experienced administrator for her own purpose:

• sophomorixCustom1 (SingleValue)
• sophomorixCustom2 (SingleValue)
• sophomorixCustom3 (SingleValue)
• sophomorixCustom4 (SingleValue)
• sophomorixCustom5 (SingleValue)
• sophomorixCustomMulti1 (MultiValue)
• sophomorixCustomMulti2 (MultiValue)
• sophomorixCustomMulti3 (MultiValue)
• sophomorixCustomMulti4 (MultiValue)
• sophomorixCustomMulti5 (MultiValue)

For use by sophomorix/linuxmuster developers ONLY:

• sophomorixIntrinsic1 (SingleValue)
• sophomorixIntrinsic2 (SingleValue)
• sophomorixIntrinsic3 (SingleValue)
• sophomorixIntrinsic4 (SingleValue)
• sophomorixIntrinsic5 (SingleValue)
• sophomorixIntrinsicMulti1 (MultiValue)
• sophomorixIntrinsicMulti2 (MultiValue)
• sophomorixIntrinsicMulti3 (MultiValue)
• sophomorixIntrinsicMulti4 (MultiValue)

Open questions

• Replication of schema to another server?

• schemaIDGUID and schemaIDGUID : Must they be just different? (or calculated?)

• schemaIDGUID :: (Double colon, or syntax error)

• How to save a schema Version number? (Do Server attributes exist?)

• Enable caching for some/which attributes?

  • Can that be enabled later?
  • update searchflag attribute and restart samba recreates the index?

• The searchFlags can be updated by an ldif file: ldbmodify -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb ./file.ldif --option="dsdb:schema update allowed"=true

  • with the *.ldif-file:

    dn: CN=Sophomorix-Comment,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=linuxmuster,DC=local
    objectClass: attributeSchema
    changetype: modify
    replace:searchFlags
    searchFlags: 128
    
    dn: CN=sophomorix-Add-Mail-Quota,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=linuxmuster,DC=local
    objectClass: attributeSchema
    changetype: modify
    replace:searchFlags
    searchFlags: 128
    

  • Can this mechanism be used to manage the searchFlags on debian package update

  • What if parts of the ldif fail ? --> no changes made

  • how can we add a Version number to the schema (attribute attatched to the domaincontroller?)

• rangeUpper and rangeLower for attributes?

• smbclient: switching back to protocol -mNT1 : How long will that work?
