Hello all, I just wrote a CGI script that allows adding users to Fedora Directory Server (FDS) very easily. The script is attached to this email. Future revisions can be downloaded from: http://lems.kiskeyix.org/toolbox/?f=adduser-ldap.cgi The license is GPL. So feel free to add it to other projects. Features: * Simple to use and to install * E-Mail is sent to the user that was created (templated) and CC to another email * Uses readily available Perl modules: Net::LDAP, CGI, Net::SMTP * XHTML 1.0 and CSS plus javascript to avoid typing much (fields get automagically populated as you type) Installation: copy cgi script to your cgi-bin dir: cp adduser-ldap.cgi /var/www/cgi-bin/ make sure it''s executable: chmod ugo+rx /var/www/cgi-bin/adduser-ldap.cgi create a "secret" file: echo "password" > /etc/adduser-ldap.secret chmod 0400 /etc/adduser-ldap.secret chown apache /etc/adduser-ldap.secret make sure that the needed Perl modules are installed (hint: perl adduser-ldap.cgi) modify the variables on top of the script to taste. The script assumes that you will be using "admin" as your bind dn: my $LDAPADMINCN "uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=netscapeRoot"; TLS is supported, but can be easily turned off if you are using it in the same box as the server is running. (Just comment out the start_tls() call). Feel free to post this script to the wiki page. (I couldn''t figure out how to do that ;-)) I made this script to allow creating accounts by non-technical personnel to the LDAP directory (used by Wildfire Jabber Server). Everything works like a charm!
