6. Userinfo (userconf co-manager)

It is now possible to save extra userinformation in LDAP from the normal linuxconf userconf dialog.

It is enabled by default, but you have to set up a directory and configure it first.

The userconf directory is currently hardcoded to use the "userinfo" directory, form and bind profile.

To configure it:

• Add the userinfo directory from the directory select dialog.
• Configure it as default. Remember to enable it!
• Init the directory with the "Create" command from the directory menu.
• Restart server.
• Now setup the "userinfo" form in the directory form config dialog.
• And set up the correct binding from the bind profile confiurator.
• Now it works like this:
• When managing a local user in the usercong dialog, you have a extra tab called "LDAP".
• In this tab all the fields defined in the form editor will show up.
• Enter the information you want.
• When you accept the user settings, the extra information will be saved in the ldap directory.
• To test it, config a client for use agaist this directory, and search for a name (or *).
• Current limitations:
• No support for userpassword, users may not update their own info (yet).
• No support for existing users. LDAP will only be used for new users. This will be fixed.
• No access control. All info in this directory is available to read for anyone.
