Managing User Accounts The following sample schema file defines a new objectClass named "user" with optional attributes "brcdAdVfData" and "description". #New attr brcdAdVfData attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.8412.100 NAME ( 'brcdAdVfData' ) DESC 'Brocade specific data for LDAP authentication' EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256} ) objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.8412.110 NAME 'user' DESC 'Brocade switch specific person' SUP top AUXILIARY MAY ( brcdAdVfData $ description ) ) 2. Include the schema file in the slapd.conf file. The following example slapd.conf line assumes that local.schema contains the attribute definition provided in Adding a Virtual Fabric list. include /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/local.schema 3. Include the brcdAdVfData attribute in a user entry in the LDAP directory. ∙ If you are using Virtual Fabrics, enter the value of the logical fabrics to which the user has access. Up to three value fields can be specified, separated by an semicolons ( ; ): - The HomeLF field specifies the user's home Logical Fabric. - The LFRole list field specifies the additional Logical Fabrics to which the user has access and the user's access permissions for those Logical Fabrics. Logical Fabric numbers are separated by commas ( , ). A hyphen ( - ) indicates a range. - The ChassisRole field designates the permissions that apply to the ChassisRole subset of commands. Example for adding Virtual Fabrics In the following example, the logical switch that would be logged in to by default is 10. If 10 is not available, then the lowest FID available will be chosen.The user is given permission to enter logical switches 1 through 128 in an admin role and is also given the chassis role permission of admin. brcdAdVfData: HomeLF=10;LFRoleList=admin:1-128;ChassisRole=admin The following fragment from a file named test4.ldif provides an entry for a user with Virtual Fabric access roles. # Organizational Role for Users dn: cn=Users,dc=mybrocade,dc=com objectClass: organizationalRole cn: Users description: User # User entries dn: cn=Sachin,cn=Users,dc=mybrocade,dc=com objectClass: user objectClass: person objectClass: uidObject cn: Sachin sn: Mishra description: First user brcdAdVfData: HomeLF=30;LFRoleList=admin:1-128;ChassisRole=admin userPassword: pass uid: [email protected] The following command adds the user to the LDAP directory. switch:admin> ldapadd -D cn=Sachin,dc=mybrocade,dc=com -x -w secret -f test4.ldif Brocade Fabric OS Administration Guide, 8.0.1 53-1004111-02 179

SUP top AUXILIARY

Include the schema file in the slapd.conf file.

The following example slapd.conf line assumes that local.schema contains the attribute definition provided in

Adding a Virtual

Fabric list

include

/usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/local.schema

Include the

brcdAdVfData

attribute in a user entry in the LDAP directory.

∙

If you are using Virtual Fabrics, enter the value of the logical fabrics to which the user has access. Up to three value fields

can be specified, separated by an semicolons ( ; ):

–

The HomeLF field specifies the user’s home Logical Fabric.

–

The LFRole list field specifies the additional Logical Fabrics to which the user has access and the user’s access

permissions for those Logical Fabrics. Logical Fabric numbers are separated by commas ( , ). A hyphen ( - ) indicates

a range.

–

The ChassisRole field designates the permissions that apply to the ChassisRole subset of commands.

Example for adding Virtual Fabrics

In the following example, the logical switch that would be logged in to by default is 10. If 10 is not available, then the lowest

FID available will be chosen.The user is given permission to enter logical switches 1 through 128 in an admin role and is

also given the chassis role permission of admin.

brcdAdVfData: HomeLF=10;LFRoleList=admin:1-128;ChassisRole=admin

The following fragment from a file named test4.ldif provides an entry for a user with Virtual Fabric access roles.

# Organizational Role for Users

dn: cn=Users,dc=mybrocade,dc=com

objectClass: organizationalRole

cn: Users

description: User

# User entries

dn: cn=Sachin,cn=Users,dc=mybrocade,dc=com

objectClass: user

objectClass: person

objectClass: uidObject

cn: Sachin

sn: Mishra

description: First user

brcdAdVfData: HomeLF=30;LFRoleList=admin:1-128;ChassisRole=admin

userPassword: pass

uid: [email protected]

The following command adds the user to the LDAP directory.

switch:admin> ldapadd -D cn=Sachin,dc=mybrocade,dc=com -x -w secret -f test4.ldif
