See the COPYRIGHT file. +.\" $OpenLDAP$ +.SH NAME +slapo\-homedir \- Home directory provisioning overlay +.SH SYNOPSIS +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +.SH DESCRIPTION +The +.B homedir +overlay causes +.BR slapd (8) +to notice changes involving RFC-2307bis style user-objects and make +appropriate changes to the local filesystem. This can be performed +on both master and replica systems, so it is possible to perform +remote home directory provisioning. +.SH CONFIGURATION +Both slapd.conf and back-config style configuration is supported. +.TP +.B overlay homedir +This directive adds the homedir overlay to the current database, +or to the frontend, if used before any database instantiation; see +.BR slapd.conf (5) +for details. +.TP +.B homedir\-skeleton\-path <pathname> +.TP +.B olcSkeletonPath: pathname +These options set the path to the skeleton account directory. +(Generally, /etc/skel) Files in this directory will be copied into +newly created home directories. Copying is recursive and handles +symlinks and fifos, but will skip most specials. +.TP +.B homedir\-min\-uidnumber <user id number> +.TP +.B olcMinimumUidNumber: number +These options configure the minimum userid to use in any home +directory attempt. This is a basic safety measure to prevent +accidentally using system accounts. See REPLICATION for more flexible +options for selecting accounts. +.TP +.B homedir\-regexp <regexp> <path> +.TP +.B olcHomedirRegexp: regexp path +These options configure a set of regular expressions to use for +matching and optionally remapping incoming +.B homeDirectory +attribute values to pathnames on the local filesystem. $number +expansion is supported to access values captured in parentheses. + +For example, to accept any directory starting with \/home and use it +verbatim on the local filesystem: + +.B homedir-regexp ^(/home/[\-_/a\-z0\-9]+)$ $1 + +To match the same set of directories, but create them instead under +\/export\/home, as is popular on Solaris NFS servers: + +.B homedir-regexp ^(/home/[\-_/a\-z0\-9]+)$ /export$1 +.TP +.B homedir\-delete\-style style +.TP +.B olcHomedirDeleteStyle: style +These options configure how deletes of posixAccount entries or their +attributes are handled; valid styles are +.B IGNORE, +which does nothing, and +.B DELETE, +which immediately performs a recursive delete on the home directory, +and +.B ARCHIVE, +which archives the home directory contents in a TAR file for later +examination. The default is IGNORE. Use with caution. ARCHIVE +requires homedir-archive-path to be set, or it functions similar to +IGNORE. +.TP +.B homedir\-archive\-path <pathname> +.TP +.B olcArchivePath: pathname +These options specify the destination path for TAR files created by +the ARCHIVE delete style. +.SH REPLICATION +The homedir overlay can operate on either master or replica systems +with no changes. See +.BR slapd.conf (5) +or +.BR slapd\-config (5) +for more information on configure syncrepl. + +Partial replication (e.g. with filters) is especially useful for +providing different provisioning options to different sets of users. +.SH BUGS +DELETE, MOD, and MODRDN operations that remove the unix attributes +when delete style is set to DELETE will recursively delete the (regex +modified) home directory from the disk. Please be careful when +deleting or changing values. + +MOD and MODRDN will correctly respond to homeDirectory changes and +perform a non-destructive rename() operation on the filesystem, but +this does not correctly retry with a recursive copy when moving +between filesystems. + +The recursive copy/delete/chown/tar functions are not aware of ACLs, +extended attributes, forks, sparse files, or hard links. Block and +character device archival is non-portable, but should not be an issue +in home directories, hopefully. + +Copying and archiving may not support files larger than 2GiB on some +architectures. Bare POSIX UStar archives cannot support internal +files larger than 8GiB. The current tar generator does not attempt to +resolve uid/gid into symbolic names. + +No attempt is made to try to mkdir() the parent directories needed for +a given home directory or archive path. +.SH FILES +.TP +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +default slapd configuration file +.TP +/etc/skel (or similar) +source of new homedir files. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR slapd.conf (5), +.BR slapd\-config (5), +.BR slapd (8), +RFC-2307, RFC-2307bis. +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.P +This module was written in 2009 by Emily Backes for Symas Corporation. |
