#6252 Multiple uids based onnUPN in compat tree should be configurable
Opened 7 years ago by simo. Modified 7 years ago

Some legacy clients that would use the compat tree will fail hard if an entry has multiple uid attributes.
Whe UPN support is enabled multiple uid entries are generated.
ID Views (or some other way) should be supported to allow to provide compat trees with a single uid attribute.


I think it is a non-issue.

LDAP schema for PosixAccount had uid attribute as non-single one since the very beginning (early 1990s).

There are users relying on it as can be seen from AIX 7 improvements where IBM added 'User alias support':

nss-pam-ldapd and original nss_ldap both support multiple UID in the entry by looking only into the first value: https://github.com/arthurdejong/nss-pam-ldapd/blob/master/nslcd/passwd.c#L248
