Add additional LDAP attributes to UMC

UCS - Univention Corporate Server

Hi,

in the core.schema is this attribute available:

attributetype ( 2.5.4.23 NAME ( 'facsimileTelephoneNumber' 'fax' )                                                                                                                                                            
    DESC 'RFC2256: Facsimile (Fax) Telephone Number'                                                                                                                                                                          
    EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch                                                                                                                                                                                                  
    SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch                                                                                                                                                                                          
    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{64} )

which is not editable in the UMC.
I can add one with ldapvi, but I would like to enable “normal” users to alter these values as well.

Is there a way to add such attributes to the UMC without using the univentionFreeAttributes?

Thanks,
Roland.

Hey,

sure — configure a custom attribute just like you would when using univentionFreeAttributes, but use organizationalPerson as the object class and facsimileTelephoneNumber as the attribute name.

Wow, that’s fantastic.
Is that a new feature or did it always work like that? :slight_smile:

Thanks!

It’s been present for a long time now. Most packages providing custom LDAP schema extensions (e.g. Kopano) use the same mechanism under the hood. As admins we usually only use the feature together with the provided univentionFreeAttributes thingy, but the mechanism itself is more general than that.
