Abstract

This document describes the OpenLDAP directory data organisation for the stoney cloud. This directory is the only database for all the services, which are manageable through the web interface of the stoney cloud.

Some titles have numbers in brackets. These numbers reflect the stoney cloud version, in which these entries have been added or modified.

Introduction

All Service-, User- and Billing-Data ist stored in the OpenLDAP directory. The directory runs in Multi-Master Mirror-Mode for high availability.

The following LDIF shows the root entry of the whole OpenLDAP directory tree for the stoney cloud:

dn: dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
dc: stoney-cloud
o: stoney-cloud

The following LDIF shows the root of the whole OpenLDAP directory tree for the stoney cloud modified for the company stepping stone GmbH in Switzerland:

dn: o=stepping-stone,c=ch
objectclass: top
objectclass: organization
o: stepping-stone

The entry c=ch stands for the country code of Switzerland while o=stepping-stone stands for the the organisation stepping-stone. The entry stepping-stone is in the process of being reserved at the Federal Office of Communications. With the reservation of the name, all the directory entries will be unique over the whole world.

The root entry can be chosen during the installation process of the stoney cloud. If you decide to use the default entry, you'll end up with dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org.
