[jira] Created: (DIREVE-66) Automagically create ou=users under system
Automagically create ou=users under system
-------------------------------------------
Key: DIREVE-66
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIREVE-66
Project: Directory Eve
Type: Task
Components: jndi-provider
Reporter: Alex Karasulu
Assigned to: Alex Karasulu
We need to start storing regular users as well as many other things like groups under the ou=system context. Let's start first by managing users under ou=users,ou=system. This container should automatically get created on the first db-creating bootstrap. The admin user at uid=admin,ou=system is very special. This entry was not placed under ou=users,ou=system on purpose. Other administrative users can exist as ou=users subordinates however this user is not there for security reasons. First its clear what its for and secondly we don't want someone searching for it under ou=users.
If we really want to an alias can be created in uid=admin,ou=users,ou=system to point to uid=admin,ou=system. However I recommend against this.

Alex Karasulu commented on DIREVE-66:
-------------------------------------
It's going to be highly likely that we're going to need several things created and not just this ou=users. I would rather maintain an LDIF file for this stuff rather than hard code it into the initial context factory. This way we can expand the ou=system region of server maintaining entries as LDIF entries.
