LDAP

OSGeo endevours to offer a "single signon" for OSGeo services. The userid database is kept in LDAP on ldap.osgeo.org (osgeo1). It is currently used for Subversion, Trac, and Drupal. It is hoped to also use it for mediawiki and possibly some other services in the future. LDAP management is the responsibility of SAC (the System Administration Committee).

LDAP Tools

Some public notes on OSGeo userids available at: 

 http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid

Administrators can login to this special ldap search tool, and will see email address, and will have a link to edit the LDAP entries. You need to be in the cn=admin,ou=projects listing. 

 https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_web_search.py

SVN and other groups can be administered with the group editor. You need to either be in the group being viewed/modified or in the cn=admin,ou=projects group in order to edit a group.

Edit GDAL commit list: 

 https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_group.py?group=gdal

Edit Admins list: 

 https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/auth/ldap_group.py?group=admin&ou=projects

To edit an individual userid use ldap_user_edit.py. If you add ?userid=osgeo_userid you can edit someone elses ldap entry as long as you are in the admins group.

OpenLDAP

OpenLDAP Admin Guide

The ldap daemon can manipulated with, 

$ sudo /sbin/service ldap start|stop|restart|

The main ldap config file is, 

/etc/openldap/slapd.conf

Currently ldap structure is pretty basic. The purpose for keeping this structure simple is to allow for a more complex structure to be evolved as ldap becomes increasingly integrated into the full osgeo systems structure.

Loading an ldif file into an ldap directory 

  $ ldapadd -a -W -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=osgeo,dc=org" -f fileName.ldif

Accessing the ldap directory through phpldapadmin

access an ldapadmin interface at https://www.osgeo.org/ldapadmin

Access to this interface is restricted to the admin group

users can be added to the ou=people,dc=osgeo,dc=org once users are added they can then be added to cn=project,ou=svn,dc=osgeo,dc=org

login as cn=Manager,dc=osgeo,dc=org

  • expand dc=osgeo,dc=org tree
  • expand the ou=people tree
  • click on 'create new entry here'
  • choose 'custom' and then 'proceed'
    • RDN is in the form of uid=username
    • ObjectClass is InetOrgPerson
    • click proceed
      • cn is common name in form of firstname lastname
      • sn is surname - lastname
      • no optionals are required
    • click 'create object'
      • on this page click 'add new attribute'
        • choose mail
          • enter email address
          • click add
        • on this page click 'add new attribute'
          • choose userPassord
          • enter password as an md5
          • click add

this adds the new user to ou=people

to add users to the cn=project,ou=svn group

  • expand the ou=svn tree
  • click on cn=project
    • under member click 'add value'
    • add user to this in same form as you and howard are listed
    • or can click on the 'folder with magnifying glasss' to select a user

that's it.
