Always the way - the LDAP enabled app/hardware falls one inch short of
doing what you need ...
In this case a Juniper VPN box which I need to check LDAP netgroup
membership for access control but it doesn't quite understand
netgroups. The
nisnetgrouptriple=(,username,)
format is the stumbling block as I need just the username. I was looking
at creating a dynamic group on the LDAP server itself to contain the
same usernames as in the netgroup but in a simple format the VPN box
could query. Anybody have an idea how to do this with dynamic groups?
Essentially, I need a query to turn this:
cn=netgroup1
nisnetgrouptriple=(,user1,)
nisnetgrouptriple=(,user2,)
into something like this:
cn=dynamic-group1
uniquemember=user1
uniquemember=user2
PK
