→INVESTIGATION 2: Adding Users to LDAP
$DEFAULT_BASE = "dc=andrew,dc=ops";
$EXTENDED_SCHEMA = 1;</source>
*Add/Create a new user to this machine with your username senecaID and a UID of 10000. Set their password as well.
*Migrating them into LDAP will take several steps:
*Extract the passwd entries of your new user from /etc/passwd to a file called ldapusers.entry
== INVESTIGATION 3: Authenticating against LDAP ==
* Read the [https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/centos-how-tos/step-step-openldap-server-configuration-centos-7-rhel-7.html/2 second] page of the Itzgeek guide for instructions on how to configure a CentOS machine to authenticate against an LDAP server.
* Prior to doing anything with it, backup your current configuration * Follow those instructions for '''vm1''', '''vm2''', and '''vm3'''. Make sure that you update the IP address of your server in the arguments to the '''authconfig ''' command.
* Confirm that you can log in using all three usernames on all your nested VMs (except vm4).
*Write an ldif file called '''update1.ldif''' that will '''add''' the attribute roomNumber to the user with your username. Set the value of roomNumber to be the room your class takes place in.
*Use '''ldapmodify''' to apply this file to your database, then run a search to confirm the new entry has been added.
*Write a new ldif file called '''update2.ldif''' that will '''replace''' the email '''mail''' address of the user with your username so that it has your actual Seneca email address. Use '''ldapmodify''' again to apply this change to the database.
*Write a third ldif file called '''update3.ldif''' to '''delete''' the user john from the database, then apply that change using '''ldapmodify''' again.
*Use '''ldapsearch''' to confirm that these changes have taken place.
