Re: [Cpu-users] Include other attributes by default

[Blake M. <bma...@pu...>]

Hi Ben,
Unfortunately at this point CPU only allows you to add attributes that are
specified by RFC2307 (and a few that aren't). Attributes that you can add
include: uid, userPassword, uidNumber, gidNumber, gecos, homeDirectory,
loginShell, shadowLastChange, shadowMin, shadowMax, shadowWarning,
shadowInactive, shadowExpire, shadowFlag, sn (Surname), givenName and Mail.

The three that are not included in RFC2307 are sn, givenName, and mail. It
would be pretty easy to allow people to write ldif's that could be included
with the attributes that CPU already handles. I think this is neccesary, so
I'll look into it. I imagine some of this will be handled in the next version
of CPU.
