Fedora directory users - Apr 2008 - Removing a Smart Referral

Hi All,

	Is there any way to remove a smart referral?

	We had some users which are in a replicated tree, and we need to use it
on our own tree. I can''t find any way to remove the reference, without
removing the user in the replicated tree.

	Example:

o=My Org
  ou=Unit 1
    uid=Replicated Account (consumer suffix)
  ou=Unit 2
    uid=My Account
    uid=Replicated Account (Smart Referral to "uid=Replicated
Account,ou=Unit 1,o=My Org")

Any help?

With a Fedora/Mozilla-based ldapsearch, you can get the DN of your 
referral objects like:

ldapsearch -h <host> -M -R -b "ou=Unit 2,o=My Org"
"objectclass=referral"

Once you have the DN of the referral, you can remove it just like you would any
other entry.
Example LDIF:

dn: <ref RDN>,ou=Unit 2,o=My Org
changeType: delete

Yes, with Python.

If -M is sending the Manage DSA IT control and what is called "Smart 
Referral" are simply referral entries then use this:

http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/doc/html/ldap.html#ldap.LDAPObject.manage_dsa_it

You can do this interactively with web2ldap:
Choose [ConnInfo] -> Set Manage DSA IT to "enabled".
It uses the python-ldap method above.

Ciao, Michael.

Not familiar with Python, but surely it allows to use controls.

Unfortunately to use PHP you''ll need my patch:

<http://www.sys-net.it/~ando/Download/index.html#PHP>

I suggest you don''t waste your time asking PHP developers to consider
it
for inclusion.
