The following table describes the different attributes:
| Attribute | |
|
|
|
Description |
| uid | |
|
|
|
The unique identifier (uid). This attribute is created by the Self-Service interface by reading (and incrementing) the next free uid from "cn=nextfreeuid,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org". |
| userPassword | |
|
|
|
Identifies the entry's password and encryption method in the following format: {encryption method}encrypted password. For example: {SSHA}zBiT1dHAZh/8zbCeyocRVWhdP0j9xJ3U. This password will be automatically set through the Self-Service interface. Afterwords, the password can be changed by the user (including the reseller and customer).
|
| uidNumber | |
|
|
|
Related to the /etc/shadow file, this attribute specifies the user's login ID. Is the same as the uid. For example: 3723707. |
| gidNumber | |
|
|
|
Group ID number. Is the same as the uid. For example: 3723707. |
| cn | |
|
|
|
givenName and Surname. Will be used for the presentation in the interface. TBD |
| gecos | |
|
|
|
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. Please be aware, that this attribute is a IA5String (OID=1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26) IA5 (almost ASCII) character set (7-bit). Does NOT allow extended characters e.g. é, Ø, å etc. The Self-Service interface automatically creates the content of this attribute. The user (including the reseller and customer) can modify this attribute as desired (except for the IA5 restrictions).
You can use: |
| homeDirectory | |
|
|
|
