Abstract

This document describes the stoney core relevant OpenLDAP directory data organisation.

Introduction

Data Organisation

Administration

The subtree ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org contains all the administrative data.

nextfreeuid

The entry cn=nextfreeuid,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org stores the next free UID (Unique Identifier). The UID is unique over the whole directory and is enforced through the directory and is incremented by one.

dn: cn=nextfreeuid,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: sstNextFreeUID
cn: nextfreeuid
uid: 3724591
uidNumber: 3724591

Before using this attribute uidNumber, you need to be sure, that your directory server actually supports atomic increments (LDAP Modify-Increment). See Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Parameters and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Modify-Increment Extension (RFC4525).

The following search should tell you, if you LDAP server supports the LDAP Modify-Increment Object Identifier Descriptor (OID 1.3.6.1.1.14):

ldapsearch -H ldaps://ldapm.stepping-stone.ch -b "" -s base -D "cn=Manager,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" -W \* + | grep 1.3.6.1.1.14
supportedFeatures: 1.3.6.1.1.14

Options:

-H ldapuri
-b searchbase
-D binddn
-W Prompt for simple authentication.
\* All user attributes are returned. 
+  All operational attributes are returned.

Billing

The sub tree ou=billing,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org stores all the billing relevant data. Each billable item (bundle, service or service item) is stored in this sub tree.

dn: ou=billing,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: billing

The following LDIF extract shows the billing schema for the product "Mail Account".

dn: uid=100001,ou=billing,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
description: Default pricing schema for the product Mail Account.
objectclass: top
objectclass: sstBillingPriceSchema
sstbaseprice: 0
sstbelongstouid: 1
sstbillingunit: Gigabyte
sstfreeunit: 0
sstpriceformula: sstPricePerUnit * sstQuota
sstpriceperunit: 4.00
sstproductname: Mail Account
uid: 100001
sstBelongsToUID: 1

The finale price is calculated with the help of the stored formula (sstPriceFormula). The customer price for a "Mail Account" with a 2 Gigabyte large mailbox (quota) is calculated as follows: Price = sstPricePerUnit * sstQuota = 4.00 CHF/(Gigabyte * Month) * 2 Gigabyte = 8 CHF/Month

All prices are stored in Swiss Francs (because the company stepping stone GmbH resides in Switzerland). You can decide about the default currency yourself. Once a month a billing run is executed, which scans the whole directory. The billing run is a currently "work in progress". For more information, please contact our Accounting departement.

Group Mapping

Used for the group mapping from the given readable format to the local group UID format.

dn: ou=group mapping,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
objectclass: labeledURIObject
objectclass: sstLDAPSearchObjectClass
ou: group mapping
description: This entry describes, how to map a given group name to an UID in the local LDAP directory.
sstDisplayName: Group Mapping
sstLDAPBaseDn: ou=groups,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
sstLDAPFilter: (&(objectClass=sstGroupObjectClass)(sstGroupName=%s)(sstBelongsToResellerUID=%sstBelongsToResellerUID)(sstBelongsToCustomerUID=%sstBelongsToCustomerUID))
sstLDAPStaticAttribute: uid

Example Mapping for the Technology Group

The following search maps the group Technology belonging to the reseller with the sstBelongsToResellerUID 4000000 and the customer with the sstBelongsToCustomerUID 4000001 to the uid 4000014:

ldapsearch -D "cn=Manager,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" -w admin -H "ldap://10.1.130.14:389" -b "ou=groups,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" "(&(objectClass=sstGroupObjectClass)(sstGroupName=Technology)(sstBelongsToResellerUID=4000000)(sstBelongsToCustomerUID=4000001))" uid
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <ou=groups,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org> with scope subtree
# filter: (&(objectClass=sstGroupObjectClass)(sstGroupName=Technology)(sstBelongsToResellerUID=4000000)(sstBelongsToCustomerUID=4000001))
# requesting: uid 
#

# 4000014, groups, stoney-cloud.org
dn: uid=4000014,ou=groups,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
uid: 4000014

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1

Example Mapping for all Groups

The following search lists all the existing Groups to belonging to the reseller with the sstBelongsToResellerUID 4000000 and the customer with the sstBelongsToCustomerUID 4000001 with the corresponding uids:

ldapsearch -D "cn=Manager,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" -w admin -H "ldap://10.1.130.14:389" -b "ou=groups,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" "(&(objectClass=sstGroupObjectClass)(sstGroupName=*)(sstBelongsToResellerUID=4000000)(sstBelongsToCustomerUID=4000001))" uid
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <ou=groups,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org> with scope subtree
# filter: (&(objectClass=sstGroupObjectClass)(sstGroupName=*)(sstBelongsToResellerUID=4000000)(sstBelongsToCustomerUID=4000001))
# requesting: uid 
#

# 4000014, groups, stoney-cloud.org
dn: uid=4000014,ou=groups,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
uid: 4000014

# 4000015, groups, stoney-cloud.org
dn: uid=4000015,ou=groups,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
uid: 4000015

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 3
# numEntries: 2

People (Superuser)

The sub tree ou=people,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org list all users, which have super user richts (users with the attribute sstBelongsToUID=1). This entry uses the functionality of the the dynlist overlay. The attribut labeleduri contains a pre-defined search, which leads to a automatically created list.

dn: ou=people,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
objectclass: labeledURIObject
ou: people
labeleduri: ldap:///ou=people,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org??one?(sstBelongsToUID=1)
member: uid=1000000,ou=people,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
member: uid=1000003,ou=people,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
member: uid=1000004,ou=people,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org

As you can see, the OpenLDAP has three people withe Superuser rights.

Services

The sub tree ou=services,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org contains all the service users. Each service and/or application has its own authentication user. The authentication user is used in the OpenLDAP Directory Access Control Lists (ACLs) to allow or restrict access to the data.

The multi-valued labeledURI attribute contains the operating system(s) for which a software stack works and therefore can be shown to the customer. The following three attributes tell us, who is allowed to access this leaf:

  • sstAllowResellerUID: Stores the reseller UID(s) that are allowed access to this leaf. If set to 0 (zero), all resellers have access.
  • sstAllowCustomerUID: Stores the customer UID(s) that are allowed access to this leaf. If set to 0 (zero), all customers belonging to the allowed resellers have access.
  • sstAllowPersonUID: Stores the person UID(s) that are allowed access to this leaf. If set to 0 (zero), all people belonging to the allowed resellers and the allowed customers have access.

Customers

The sub tree ou=customers,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org contains all the customers. Each customer has a unique uid, which is used for later reference.

Customers - Customer

We have two kinds of customers:

  • Company customer: This is the normal case, as we target companies.
  • Private customer: A private customer does not have a company/organisation name.

The following LDIF examples will show both cases where necessary. The first LDIF shows you the default company customer entry after a fresh stoney cloud installation. All relevant data belonging to this customer is stored below this dn.

objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
objectclass: sstBillingCustomer
ou: billing
sstBillable: TRUE

The following table describes the different attributes:

Attribute
Existence
Mandatory
Description
sstBillable
MAY
x2
All hierarchical levels must have sstBillable: TRUE to actually have an invoice generated and sent. If the attribute sstBillable doesn't exist, the default is TRUE. This way, we are forced to set a reseller, customer or product manually to sstBillable: FALSE if we want to avoid sending them an invoice.
sstBillingCycle
MAY
Billing cycle in months. This attribute sstBillingCycle is only checked (evaluated), if the reseller the customer belongs to, has sstResellerBill set to FALSE (as is the case for the reseller stepping stone GmbH). Possible values:
  • 1: Monthly invoice.
  • 3: Quarterly invoice.
  • 6: Semi-annually invoice.
  • 12: Yearly invoice (this is the default billing period if no sstBillingCycle is set).
sstCurrency
MAY
Three-letter currency code according to ISO 4217. Possible values are:
  • CHF: Swiss franc (this is the default currency if no sstCurrency is set).
  • EUR: Euro
  • GBP: Pound sterling
  • USD: United States dollar
sstPaymentMethod
MAY
Payment method of the invoice. Possible values are:
  • invoice: Classic invoice, sent according to the delivery method defined in sstDeliveryMethod (this is the default payment method if no sstPaymentMethod is set).
  • postcard: Electronic invoice via PostFinance.
  • creditcard: Credit card payment.
sstDeliveryMethod
MAY
Delivery method of invoices or access data. Possible values are:
  • email: The invoice or access data is sent via email to the recipient.
  • post: The invoice or access data is sent via snail mail to the recipient (this is the default delivery method if no sstDeliveryMethod is set).
sstDiscount
MAY
An optional customer discount (an integer value between 0 and 100). Default is 0.
sstCancellationDate
MAY
The cancellation date of a reseller, customer or service in the form of [YYYY][MM][DD] (ISO 8601). For example: 20181231. The attribute sstCancellationDate is used in a logical AND combination with sstIsActive.
sstMailToUID
MAY
x1
This attribute sstMailToUID is only checked (evaluated), if the delivery method sstDeliveryMethod is set to email. Even though this attribute is multi-valued, we expect on recipient only. Stores the UID (Unique Identifier in the form integer value with 7 digits) of the person an email is sent to via To. This UID is used to look up the persons mail address, preferred language, name, surname or other information in the sub tree ou=people,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org. For example: 4000002.
sstMailCcUID
MAY
This attribute sstMailCcUID is only checked (evaluated), if the delivery method sstDeliveryMethod is set to email. Please be aware, that this attribure ist multi-valued and multiple recipients are to be expected. Stores the UID (Unique Identifier in the form integer value with 7 digits) of the person an email is sent to via CC. This UID is used to look up the persons mail address, preferred language, name, surname or other information in the sub tree ou=people,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org. For example: 4000064.
sstMailBccUID
MAY
This attribute sstMailBccUID is only checked (evaluated), if the delivery method sstDeliveryMethod is set to email. Please be aware, that this attribure ist multi-valued and multiple recipients are to be expected. Stores the UID (Unique Identifier in the form integer value with 7 digits) of the person an email is sent to via BCC. This UID is used to look up the persons mail address, preferred language, name, surname or other information in the sub tree ou=people,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org. For example: 4000066 or 4000069.

Legend:

  • x: Mandatory in all cases.
  • x1: The attribute sstMailToUID is mandatory, if the delivery method sstDeliveryMethod is set to email.
  • x2: As the default of the attribute sstBillable is TRUE, it's not really mandatory. For better readability, please always add the attribute sstBillable.

Customers - Customer - Employees
