Abstract

This document describes the OpenLDAP directory data organisation for the stoney storage service.

Data Organisation

The following chapters explain the data organisation of the stoney cloud OpenLDAP directory. In this case we are looking at the stoney storage service.

Storage

The following LDIF shows the storage LDAP entry for the stoney storage service:

dn: ou=storage,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: organizationalUnit
objectclass: top
ou: storage
description: The sub tree for the Nextcloud based stoney storage service.

Storage - Configuration

The sub tree for the configuration of the storage storage service:

dn: ou=configuration,ou=storage,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: configuration
description: The sub tree for the configuration of the Nextcloud based stoney storage service.

Storage - Configuration - Provisioning daemon

See the Services description for the naming convention.

The sub tree for the configuration of the prov-storage-nextcloud daemon:

dn: ou=prov-storage-nextcloud,ou=configuration,ou=storage,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
objectclass: sstServiceConfigurationObjectClass
ou: prov-storage-nextcloud
description: The sub tree for the configuration of the prov-storage-nextcloud daemon.
sstIsActive: TRUE

The following table describes the different attributes:

Attribute	Objectclass	Existence	Mandatory	Description
ou	organizationalUnit	MUST	x	The name of the leaf.
description	sstServiceConfigurationObjectClass	MAY	x	The description of the leaf.
sstIsActive	sstServiceConfigurationObjectClass	MAY	x	Is the entry active? Either `TRUE` (yes) or `FALSE` (no). The default value is `TRUE`.

Legend:

x: Mandatory in all cases.

Storage - Configuration - Reseller

The sub tree for the reseller specific storage storage service settings:

dn: ou=reseller,ou=configuration,ou=storage,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: reseller
description: The sub tree for the reseller specific configuration of the Nextcloud based stoney storage service.

The sub tree for the specific storage storage service settings for the reseller Reseller Ltd. with the uid 4000000.

dn: uid=4000000,ou=reseller,ou=configuration,ou=storage,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: sstReseller
objectclass: sstServiceConfigurationObjectClass
uid: 4000000
o: Reseller Ltd.
description: The sub tree for the specific storage storage service settings for the reseller Reseller Ltd. with the uid 4000000.
sstIsActive: TRUE
sstIsCompany: TRUE
sstIsDefault: TRUE
sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000

The following table describes the different attributes:

Attribute	Objectclass	Existence	Mandatory	Self-Service	Changeable	Description
uid	sstReseller	MUST	x			A unique integer value with 7 digits or more. For example: `uid: 4000000` corresponds with `sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000`.
organizationName	sstReseller	MAY	x¹			The company name. For example: `stepping stone AG`.
givenName	sstReseller	MAY	x¹			Name. For example: `Hans`.
surname	sstReseller	MAY	x¹			Surname. For example: `Muster`.
description	sstReseller	MAY	x			The description of the leaf. For example: `The sub tree for the specific stoney storage service settings for the reseller Reseller Ltd. with the uid 4000000.`
sstIsActive	sstReseller	MUST	x			Is the entry active? Either `TRUE` (yes) or `FALSE` (no). The default value is `TRUE`.
sstIsCompany	sstReseller	MUST	x			Do we have an organisation or a private person? Either `TRUE` (yes) or `FALSE` (no). The default value is `TRUE`.
sstIsDefault	sstServiceConfigurationObjectClass	MAY	x			Is this leaf a default entry? Either `TRUE` (yes) or `FALSE` (no). If `sstIsDefault` is set to `TRUE`, this entry acts as a fall back configuration. In other words: If a reseller doesn't have his own stoney storage service configuration, then this one will be used. As you would normally have only one default configuration per cloud, the default value is `FALSE`.
sstBelongsToResellerUID	sstReseller	MUST	x			Stores the reseller UID the leaf belongs to. A unique value with 7 digits or more. For example: `sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000` corresponds with `uid: 4000000`.

Legend:

x: Mandatory in all cases.
x¹: If sstIsCompany is set to TRUE, the organizationName must be set. Otherwise givenName and surname must be set.

Storage - Configuration - Reseller - Notification settings

The sub tree stores the notification information for the storage storage service for the reseller Reseller Ltd. with the uid 4000000. This information is used independently of the notification settings of the users. The idea is, that the reseller can receive notifications for a customer and react on the received information (for example, when the quota has been reached):

dn: ou=notifications,uid=4000000,ou=reseller,ou=configuration,ou=storage,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
objectclass: sstNotificationObjectClass
ou: notifications
description: The sub tree stores the notification information for the storage storage service for the reseller Reseller Ltd. with the uid 4000000. This information is used independently of the notification settings of the users.
sstMailTo: Support stepping stone GmbH <support@stepping-stone.ch>
sstNotificationWarning: quota
sstNotificationWarning: schedule
sstNotificationWarning: unsuccessful

The following table describes the different attributes:

Attribute	Existence	Mandatory	Self-Service	Changeable	Description
ou	MUST	x
description	MAY	x
sstMailTo	MAY	x
sstNotificationWarning	MAY				This multi-valued attribute will be used to turn single notifications on or off. The attribute sstStorageWarningOn must be set to `TRUE` Possible values are quota, schedule and unsuccessful (the names correspond with the template dn).

Attribute	Existence	Mandatory	Self-Service	Changeable	Description
ou	MUST	x
description	MUST	x
sstMailFrom	MAY	x			The mail address, from which the credentials are sent from. For example: `Support stepping stone GmbH <support@stepping-stone.ch>`). If this attribute does not exist, the `sstMailFrom` from `ou=settings,uid=<UID>,ou=reseller,ou=configuration,ou=storage,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org` must be taken.
sstMailTo	MAY				If this multi-valued attribute is set with one or mail address(es), then these recipients will receive the same information as the `login` user or the `owner`, depending on the value of `sstSendCredentialsTo` under `ou=settings,uid=<UID>,ou=reseller,ou=configuration,ou=storage,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org`. Normally, this attribute is not set for the credentials.
sstMailTemplate	MAY	x			The template, that is used to create the mail that is sent to either the user logged in (`sstSendCredentialsTo: login`) or to the owner of then newly created service (`sstSendCredentialsTo: owner`. For example: `sstTemplate: file:///var/www/selfcare/htdocs/themes/selfcare.tombstone.ch/templates/services/storage/credentials/credentials_mail`.
sstMailTemplateFormatSource	MAY	x			The format of the source template. Supported values: `txt` `html` Place holder: For both `txt` or `html` as a source and `txt` or `html`, the place holders have the form of `{$placeholder}`. Default would normally be `txt`.

sstTemplate	MAY	x			The template, that is used to create the attachment that is sent with the mail. For example: `sstTemplate: file:///var/www/selfcare/htdocs/themes/selfcare.tombstone.ch/templates/services/storage/credentials/credentials_attachment`.
sstTemplateFormatSource	MAY	x			The format of the source template. Supported values: `txt` `odt` Place holders: If we have `txt` or `html` as a source and `txt` or `html`, the place holders have the form of `{$placeholder}`. If we have `odt` as a source and `odt` or `pdf` as a target, then PHP-Easy-Report is used to replace the placeholders. These have the form of `{{placeholder}}`. The complete path and file name is a string concatenation of the values of the attributes `sstTemplate`, `preferredLanguage` and `sstTemplateFormatSource` (with a dot in between the values). For example: `sstTemplate: file:///var/www/selfcare/htdocs/themes/selfcare.tombstone.ch/templates/services/storage/credentials/credentials_attachment` `preferredLanguage: en-GB` `sstTemplateFormatSource: odt` This gives us: `file:///var/www/selfcare/htdocs/themes/selfcare.tombstone.ch/templates/services/storage/credentials/credentials_attachment.en-GB.ode` Default would normally be `odt`.
sstTemplateFormatTarget	MAY	x			The format of the target. Supported values: `txt` `odt` `pdf` Note to Self-Service developer(s). Please be aware of the following issues when using PHP-Easy-Report: Minor: Spaces (and other special characters) in the document file names are going to be a problem since the names don't get escaped. Major: You must provide a manually-created unique temp-directory for the PHP-Easy-Report object, otherwise there will be race-conditions. Default would normally be `pdf`.

In most cased, the attribute `sstMailTo` is set to the support organisations mail address. For example: `sstMailTo: Support stepping stone GmbH <support@stepping-stone.ch&gt>` This way, the support organisation will be pre-informed for when the customer should call or write. The information the recipients will receive, is the same as the owner, but will formatted according to: `sstTemplate: file:///var/www/selfcare/htdocs/themes/selfcare.tombstone.ch/templates/services/storage/quota/quota_mail_reseller` `sstMailTemplateResellerFormatSource: txt` `sstMailTemplateResellerFormatTarget: txt`

gecos	MAY	x	x	x	Named for historical reasons, the GECOS field is mandatory and is used to store extra information (such as the user's full name). Utilities such as finger or getent access this field to provide additional user information. For a personal account, this entry would consist of `givenName` and `surname`, for example `Michael Eichenberger`. These values are taken from the owners entry (ou=people). For a service account, the attribute `sstDisplayName` from the corresponding service would be used for the content of this attribute.

For example: 3730083.stoney-storage.com. You can use: `~ $ echo "Tüpfelhyänenöhrchen" \| iconv -f 'utf-8' -t 'ASCII//TRANSLIT'` which gives you: `Tuepfelhyaenenoehrchen` or: `iconv("UTF-8", "ASCII//TRANSLIT", "Tüpfelhyänenöhrchen")` Please be aware, that some characters don't get converted properly ... For example: Ø and £. The characters $ and € work.
