Puppet users - Mar 2013 - New LDAP puppet provider using ldapmodify, ldapadd, ldapdelete etc.

Hi all,

I use openldap and it''s newer slapd.d style of housing the
configuration
(as opposed to /etc/openldap/slapd.conf ).

As such, to modify the config, the database itself, I''d prefer to use 
ldapmodify and ldapadd commands.

I couldn''t find an existing ldap provider to nicely manage database
entries
(DNs), so I wrote one.

It essentially does this:

   - Translate the puppet "ldapdn" resource into an in-memory ldif
   - ldapsearch the existing dn to verify the current contents (if any)
   - compare the results of the search with what should be the case
   - work out which add/modify/delete commands are required to get to the 
   desired state
   - write out an appropriate ldif file
   - execute it via an ldapmodify statement.


It''s in it''s infancy, but feel free to have a look

Hope this is useful to someone, I will add more to it when I can.

Thanks

Geoff
