I'm using a ruby gem named Ladle (https://github.com/NUBIC/ladle). It spins up an LDAP server and takes in an LDIF file. It also allows you to load a custom schema by passing said schema when creating the server object.
The gem utilizes apacheds 2.0 and by default doesn't support NIS schema. I found that I can enable this by doing the following:
- In IRB start the LDAP server locally using the Ladle gem
- Using Apache Directory Studio, connect to the local LDAP server and edit the following: ou=schema -> cn=nis -> m-disabled = FALSE (originally set to TRUE)
- The following appears in the Ladle log: irb(main):156:0> ApacheDS: INFO: Loading nis enabled schema: ApacheDS: Schema Name: nis ApacheDS: Disabled: false ApacheDS: Owner: uid=admin,ou=system ApacheDS: Dependencies: [system, cosine, core] ApacheDS: INFO: Loading nis enabled schema: ApacheDS: Schema Name: nis ApacheDS: Disabled: false ApacheDS: Owner: uid=admin,ou=system ApacheDS: Dependencies: [system, cosine, core]
- At this point, it looks to be working correctly
I need to be able to modify the schema via an LDIF file which I can pass to Ladle, however, I've not been able to do this successfully.
Thanks, Gennaro
