Custom UDM Syntax gets deleted immediately

[benjamindahl]

Hey, I tried to add a custom UDM Syntax via the UMC and command line but it get’s deleted immediately.

Here’s my udm command

udm settings/udm_syntax create \
    --position "cn=udm_syntax,cn=univention,$(ucr get ldap/base)" \
    --set name="userStatusSyntax" \
    --set filename="userstatus.py" \
    --set data="QlpoOTFBWSZTWbHOqCkAAEzfgEQQQOUAEipgCAovb99gIACSDU0TQeoZGgAAHqCRTUjTaQHpGhoDI0QllXOwKarq0IklUjLbnP1V5w69lEoi25tttuiJ3ItoEkeyVcCPmyOUF+BjNY6dxezAZ4OOdjfYIGHiIuj4C/IaSqvarMPDhKyCy+QR14NSltIQ2Qnq3W/OtxJYMATBuJDeUFMCBx/i7kinChIWOdUFIA==" \
    --set package="User Status Attribute" \
    --set packageversion="0.1"

The data is this, bzipped and base64 encoded

from univention.admin.syntax import select
class userStatusSyntax(select):
    choices = [
        ('', ''),
        ('Idle', 'Idle'),
        ('Halted', 'Halted'),
        ('Active', 'Active'),
        ('Extra', 'Extra'),
        ('Check', 'Check')
    ]
    default = ''

I’ve also tried it with the UMC but same result.

Any Help appreciated

I tried it another way today like this but it did not work either:

. /usr/share/univention-join/joinscripthelper.lib 
. /usr/share/univention-lib/join.sh 
. /usr/share/univention-lib/ldap.sh 
ucs_registerLDAPExtension \
    --packagename "User-Status-Syntax" \
    --packageversion "1.0" \
    --udm_syntax /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/univention/admin/syntax.d/userstatus.py
    
    
Object exists: cn=udm_syntax,cn=univention,dc=mydomain,dc=tld
Object created: cn=userstatus,cn=udm_syntax,cn=univention,dc=mydomain,dc=tld

Waiting for activation of the extension object userstatus: .........................................................ERROR
ERROR: Primary Directory Node did not mark the extension object active within 180 seconds.
ucs_registerLDAPExtension: registraton of [path to] userstatus.py failed.

I found the final solution:

. /usr/share/univention-join/joinscripthelper.lib 
. /usr/share/univention-lib/join.sh 
. /usr/share/univention-lib/ldap.sh 
bzip2 -c /usr/share/userstatus-tmp-bd/userstatus_template.py | base64 > /usr/share/userstatus-tmp-bd/userstatus.py
ucs_registerLDAPExtension \
    --packagename "User-Status-Syntax" \
    --packageversion "1.0" \
    --ucsversionstart "5.0-0" \
    --ucsversionend "5.0-99" \
    --udm_syntax /usr/share/userstatus-tmp-bd/userstatus.py \
