Abstract

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

Data Organisation

The following chapters explain the data organisation of the stoney cloud OpenLDAP directory, in this case we looking at the maintenance service.

Maintenance

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

dn: ou=maintenance,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: maintenance
description: The sub tree for the maintenance (configuration management) service.

Maintenance Configuration

The sub tree for the configuration of the maintenance service: 

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

Maintenance Configuration Reseller

The sub tree for the reseller specific maintenance service settings: 

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

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

dn: uid=4000000,ou=reseller,ou=configuration,ou=maintenance,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 maintenance service settings for the reseller Reseller Ltd. with the uid 4000000.
sstIsActive: TRUE
sstIsDefault: TRUE
sstBelongsToResellerUID: 4000000

The following table describes the different attributes:

Attribute
Existence
Mandatory
Self-Service
Changeable
 Description
uid
MUST
x
A unique integer value with 7 digits or more. For example: 4000000.
o
MUST
x
The company name, for example: Reseller Ltd..
description
MAY
x
The description of the leaf.
sstIsActive
MUST
x
Is the entry active? Either TRUE (yes) or FALSE (no).
sstIsDefault
MAY
Contains the 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 maintenance service configuration, then this on will be used.
sstBelongsToResellerUID
MUST
x
Stores the reseller UID the leaf belongs to. A unique value with 7 digits or more. For example: 4000000.

Legend:

  • x: Mandatory in all cases.

Maintenance Configuration Reseller Notification Settings

The sub tree stores the notification information for the maintenance service for the reseller Reseller Ltd. with the uid 4000000. This information is used as a fallback. The lookup is as follows:

  1. Service
  2. Customer: ou=notifications,uid=4000001,ou=customers,ou=configuration,ou=maintenance,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
  3. Reseller: ou=notifications,uid=4000000,ou=reseller,ou=configuration,ou=maintenance,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
  4. Default Reseller: ou=notifications,uid=4000000,ou=reseller,ou=configuration,ou=maintenance,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org

The idea is, that even if somebody forgot to define something, no maintenance window will be lost or forgotten. 

dn: ou=notifications,uid=4000000,ou=reseller,ou=configuration,ou=maintenance,ou=services,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
