[Ldapusrmgr-software] Re: all about usermanager

[Curtis R. <cu...@ou...>]

Ok, let me explain the design of the $UM_groups and $UM_group_base.
$UM_groups defines the acl levels for the specified group in LDAP.
By looking up the group name by cn=<group> and looking at the attributes 
(uniquemember or memberuid attribute) in the group entry.  For example, you 
have defined:
$UM_groups[] = "root,read_grp";
$UM_group_base = "ou=group,o=mu";
 
So, when a user (user1) logs in it searches the $UM_groups for the propriate 
permissions.  It would then look in root group (cn=root,ou=group,o=mu) for the 
existance of the memberuid=user1 or uniquemember=uid=user1,$UM_people_base.
If it finds the user is in the group (cn=root), then it lets the user1 account 
log in.
