This chapter will give you instructions how to manage the different LDAP entries in your directory. Please note that not all account types are manageable with the free LAM release. LAM Pro provides some more account types (e.g. group of names, aliases, ...) and modules (e.g. Zarafa, custom scripts, ...) to support additional LDAP object classes. All LAM Pro features are marked in this manual. Basic page layout: After the login LAM will present you its main page. It consists of a header part which is equal for all pages and the content area which covers most the of the page. The header part includes the links to manage all account types (e.g. users and groups) and open the tree view (LDAP browser). There is also the logout link and a tools entry. When you login the you will see an account listing in the content area. Here you can create, delete and modify accounts. Use the action buttons at the left or double click on an entry to edit it. The suffix selection box allows you to list only the accounts which are located in a subtree of your LDAP directory. You can change the number of shown entries per page with "Change settings". Depending on the account type there may be additional settings. E.g. the user list can convert group numbers to group names. When you select to edit an entry then LAM will show all its data on a tabbed view. There is one tab for each functional part of the account. You can set default values by loading an account profile.

Here is a list of typical usage scenarios and what account types and modules you need to configure. Address book entries: Account types: Users (Personal) Unix accounts: Account types: Users (Personal + Unix) Groups (Unix (posixGroup)) Suse users may need to use Group (Group of names + Unix (rfc2307bisPosixGroup)) because of Suse's special LDAP schema. Samba 3 accounts: Account types: Users (Personal + User + Samba 3) Groups (Unix + Samba 3) Hosts (Account + Unix + Samba 3) Samba domains (Samba domain) Samba 4/Active Directory: Account types: Users (Windows) Groups (Windows) Hosts (Windows) Please note that must change the attributes that are shown in the account lists. Otherwise, the account tables will show empty lines. See the documentation for the Windows user/group/host modules. For Samba 4 with Zarafa use the following modules: Users (Windows + Zarafa (+ Zarafa contact)) Groups (Windows + Zarafa) Hosts (Windows + Zarafa) Zarafa dynamic groups (Zarafa dynamic group) Zarafa address lists (Zarafa address list) See also the Zarafa section for additional settings (e.g. using Zarafa AD schema). Asterisk: Account types: Users (Personal + Asterisk) Asterisk extensions (Asterisk extension) Zarafa: Account types: Users (Personal + Unix + Zarafa (+ Zarafa contact)) Groups (Unix + Zarafa) Zarafa dynamic groups (Zarafa dynamic group) Zarafa address lists (Zarafa address list) Hosts (Device + Zarafa + IP Address) PyKota: Account types: Users (Personal + Unix + PyKota) Groups (Unix + PyKota) Printers (PyKota) Billing codes (PyKota)

LAM manages various types of user accounts. This includes address book entries, Unix, Samba, Zarafa and much more. Account list settings: The user list includes two special options to change how your users are displayed. Translate GID number to group name: By default the user list can show the primary group IDs (GIDs) of your users. There are often cases where it is more suitable to show the group name instead. This can be done by activating this option. Please note that LAM will execute more LDAP queries which may result in decreased performance. Show account status: If you activate this option then there will be an additional column displayed that shows if the account is locked. You can see more details when moving the mouse cursor over the lock icon. This function supports Unix, Samba, PPolicy, Windows and 389ds locking+deactivation. Password: Click the "Set password" button to change the user's password(s). Depending on the active account modules LAM will offer to change multiple passwords at the same time. If a module supports to enforce a password change then you will see the appropriate checkbox. LAM Pro also offers to send the password via email after the account is saved. Email options are specified in your LAM server profile. Quick account (un)locking: When you edit an user then LAM supports to quickly lock/unlock the whole account. This includes Unix, Samba and PPolicy. LAM can also remove group memberships if an account is locked. You will see the current status of all account parts in the title area of the account. If you click on the lock icon then a dialog will be opened to change these values. Depending on which parts are locked LAM will provide options to lock/unlock account parts.

This module is the most common basis for user accounts in LAM. You can use it stand-alone to manage address book entries or in combination with Unix, Samba or other modules. The Personal module provides support for managing various personal data of your users including mail addresses and telephone numbers. You can also add photos of your users (please install PHP Imagick/ImageMagick for full file format support). If you do not need to manage all attributes then you can deactivate them in your server profile. Configuration Please activate the module "Personal (inetOrgPerson)" for users. The module manages lots of fields. Probably, you will not need all of them. You can hide fields in module settings. In advanced options you may also set fields to read-only (for existing accounts) and define limits for photo files. Additionally, you can add an "ou=addressbook" subentry to each user in case you manage user addressbooks. User management User certificates can be uploaded and downloaded. LAM will automatically convert PEM to DER format.

E.g. using "$firstname $lastname" in common name field can be used like this to get "First Last". You can set the wildcards in profile editor so they are automatically applied for new users.

The Unix module manages Unix user accounts including group memberships. There are several configuration options for this module: UID generator: LAM will suggest UID numbers for your accounts. Please note that it may happen that there are duplicate IDs assigned if users create accounts at the same time. Use an overlay like "Attribute Uniqueness" (example) if you have lots of LAM admins creating accounts. Fixed range: LAM searches for free numbers within the given limits. LAM always tries to use a free UID that is greater than the existing UIDs to prevent collisions with deleted accounts. Samba ID pool: This uses a special LDAP entry that includes attributes that store a counter for the last used UID/GID. Please note that this requires that you install the Samba schema and create an LDAP entry of object class "sambaUnixIdPool". Magic number: Use this if your LDAP server assigns the UID numbers automatically (e.g. DNA by 389 server). Enter the server's magic number setting. Password hash type: If possible use CRYPT-SHA512 or SSHA to protect your user's passwords. The option SASL will set the password to "{SASL}<user name>". Login shells: List of valid login shells that can be selected when editing an account. Hidden options: Some input fields can be hidden to simplify the GUI if you do not need them. Set primary group as memberUid: By default primary group membership is not set on group objects but only on user (gidNumber). Activate this if you need to have the primary group membership in group object, too. Do not add object class: This is for Windows only. When the checkbox is activated then the posixAccount object class will not be added to a user. User name suggestion: The user name is automatically filled as specified in the configuration (default smiller for Steve Miller). Of course, the suggested value can be changed any time. Common name is also filled with first/last name by default. Group memberships can be changed when clicking on "Edit groups". Here you can select the Unix groups and group of names memberships. To enable "Group of names" please either add the groups module "groupOfNames"/"groupOfUniqueNames" or add the account type "Group of names". You can also create home directories for your users if you setup lamdaemon. This allows you to create the directories on the local or remote servers. It is also possible to check the status of the user's home directories. If needed the directories can be created or removed at any time. Wildcards This module provides the following wildcards (others may be provided by other modules): $user: User name $group: Groupe name (not numeric number) You can use them in the following input fields on user edit screen: Common name Gecos Home directory Use this when some of your data always follows the same schema. E.g. using "/home/$user" in home directory field can be used like this to get "/home/myuser". You can set the wildcards in profile editor so they are automatically applied for new users.

This module manages memberships in group of (unique) names and also group of members. Please note that this module cannot be used if the Unix module is active. In this case group memberships may be managed with the Unix module. Configuration To activate this feature please add the user module "Group of names (groupOfNamesUser)" to your LAM server profile. The module automatically detects if groups are based on "groupOfNames", "groupOfUniqueNames" or "groupOfMembers" and sets the correct attribute.

LAM can manage role memberships in organizationalRole objects. To activate this feature please add the user module "Roles (organizationalRoleUser)" to your LAM server profile. User editing Now, there will be a new tab "Roles" when you edit your user accounts. Here you can select the role memberships.

LAM supports the management of the LDAP substitution of /etc/shadow. Here you can setup password policies for your Unix accounts and also view the last password change of a user.

Configuration Please add the module "NIS net groups (nisNetGroupUser)" to the list of active user modules. User editing You will now see a new tab when editing users. Here you can assign memberships in NIS net groups and also set host/domain.

LAM Pro allows your users to reset their passwords by answering a security question. The reset link is displayed on the self service page. Additionally, you can set question + answer in the admin interface. Please note that self service and LAM admin interface are separated functionalities. You need to specify the list of possible security questions in both self service profile(s) and server profile(s). Schema installation Please install the LDAP schema as described here. Activate password self reset module Please activate the password self reset module in your LAM Pro server profile. Now select the tab "Module settings" and specify the list of possible security questions. Only these questions will be selectable when you later edit accounts unless you explicitly allow to enter custom questions. LAM Pro supports to set up to three security questions per user. If you do not want to set backup email addresses then you can hide this option. Edit users After everything is setup please login to LAM Pro and edit your users. You will see a new tab called "Password self reset". Here you can activate/remove the password self reset function for each user. You can also change the security question and answer. If you set a backup email address then confirmation emails will also be sent to this address. This is useful if the user password grants access to the user's primary mailbox. So passwords can be unlocked with an external email address. Hint: You can add the passwordSelfReset object class to all your users with the multi edit tool. Samba 4 note: Due to a bug in Samba 4 you need to add the extension, save, and then select a question and set the answer. If you add the extension, set question/answer and then save all together this will cause an LDAP error and no changes will be saved.

You can specify a list of valid host names where the user may login. If you add the value "*" then the user may login to any host. This can be further restricted by adding explicit deny entries which are prefixed with "!" (e.g. "!hr_server"). Please note that your PAM settings need to support host restrictions. This feature is enabled by setting pam_check_host_attr yes in your /etc/pam_ldap.conf. When it is enabled then the account facility of pam_ldap will perform the checks and return an error when no proper host attribute is present. Please note that users without host attribute cannot login to such a configured server.

LAM supports full Samba 3 user management including logon hours and terminal server options. The module is enabled by adding "Samba 3 (sambaSamAccount)" to your user modules. In the configuration options you can enable password history checking. Depending on your LDAP server you might need ascending or descending order. Just switch the setting if the password history is not correctly updated. In case you have no very old Windows clients (e.g. Windows 98) it is recommended to disable LM hashes. They are considered to be insecure. You can also hide some input fields if you do not need them. After configuring the module you will see the Samba 3 tab when you edit a user. Logon hours can be changed. You can also setup terminal server settings.

Please activate the account type "Users" in your LAM server profile and then add the user module "Windows (windowsUser)(*)". The default list attributes are for Unix and not suitable for Windows (blank lines in account table). Please use "#cn;#givenName;#sn;#mail" or select your own attributes to display in the account list. On tab "Module settings" you can specify the possible Windows domain names and if pre-Windows 2000 user names should be managed. NIS support is deactivated by default. Enable it if needed. Now you can manage your Windows users and e.g. assign groups. You might want to set the default domain name in the profile editor. Attention: Password changes require a secure connection via ldaps://. Check your LAM server profile if password changes are refused by the server. Your server must run a 64bit operating system. Otherwise, the module might not work. Wildcards This module provides the following wildcards (others may be provided by other modules): $firstname: First name $lastname: Last name $user: User name $commonname: Common name $email: Email address You can use them in the following input fields on user edit screen: Common name Display name Email Email alias Home directory Profile path Script path Use this when some of your data always follows the same schema. E.g. using "$firstname $lastname" in common name field can be used like this to get "First Last". You can set the wildcards in profile editor so they are automatically applied for new users.

You can manage file system quotas with LAM. This requires to setup lamdaemon. LAM connects to your server via SSH and manages the disk filesystem quotas. The quotas are stored directly on the filesystem. This is the default mechanism to store quotas for most systems. Please add the module "Quota (quota)" for users to your LAM server profile to enable this feature. If you store the quota information directly inside LDAP please see the next section.

You can store your filesystem quotas directly in LDAP. See Linux DiskQuota for details since it requires quota tools that support LDAP. You will need to install the quota LDAP schema to manage the object class "systemQuotas". Please add the module "Quota (systemQuotas)" for users to your LAM server profile to enable this feature. If you store the quota information on the filesystem please see the previous section.

This module supports to manage Kolab accounts with LAM. E.g. you can set the user's mail quota and define invitation policies. Please add the Kolab user module in your LAM server profile to activate Kolab support. Attention: LAM will add the object class "mailrecipient" by default. This object class is available on 389 directory server but may not be present on e.g. OpenLDAP. Please deactivate the following setting (LAM server profile, module settings) if you do not use this object class. Please enter an email address at the Personal page and set a Unix password first. Both are required that Kolab accepts the accounts. The email address ("Personal" page) must match your Kolab domain, otherwise the account will not work. Attention: The mailbox server cannot be changed after the account has been saved. Please make sure that the value is correct. Kolab users should not be directly deleted with LAM. You can mark an account for deletion which then is done by the Kolab server itself. This makes sure that the mailbox etc. is also deleted. If you upgrade existing non-Kolab accounts please make sure that the account has an Unix password.

LAM supports Asterisk accounts, too. See the Asterisk section for details.

EDU person accounts are mainly used in university networks. You can specify the principal name, nick names and much more.

There are two LAM user modules depending if your user entries should be built on object class "pykotaObject" or a different structural object class (e.g. "inetOrgPerson"). For "pykotaObject" please select "PyKota (pykotaUserStructural(*))" and "PyKota (pykotaUser)" in all other cases. To display the job history please setup the job DN on tab "Module settings": Now you can add the PyKota extension to your user accounts. Here you can setup the printing options and add payments for this user. For LAM Pro there are also self service fields to allow users e.g. to view their current balance and job history. You may also view the payment and job history.

OpenLDAP supports the ppolicy overlay to manage password policies for LDAP entries. LAM Pro supports managing the policies and assigning them to user accounts. Please add the account type "Password policies" to your LAM server profile and activate the "Password policy" module for the user type. You can select the password policy and force a password change on next login. Accounts can also be (un)locked. You can assign any password policy which is found in the LDAP suffix of the "Password policies" type. When you set the policy to "default" then OpenLDAP will use the default policy as defined in your slapd.conf file. Attention: Locking and unlocking requires that you also activate the option "Lockout users" in the assigned password policy. Otherwise, it will have no effect.

This module allows you to display if users are locked by 389ds server. You can (de)activate your users. The password expiration time can also be managed. Requirements: 389ds LDAP server Configuration Please add the user module "Account locking (locking389ds)". This will show the password expiration time. You can edit the value if needed. If there are any failed login attempts then LAM displays their number and till when the user is locked by the system. The limit of failed login attempts and lockout duration is configured on your LDAP server and not within LAM. You can unlock the user by clicking on the lock icon. Here you can also (de)activate the account. Note: Accounts are only locked by the LDAP server due to failed password attempts. You cannot manually lock an account. Deactivate it in case you want to disable login for a user.

FreeRadius is a software that implements the RADIUS authentication protocol. LAM allows you to mange several of the FreeRadius attributes. To activate the FreeRadius plugin please activate the FreeRadius user module in your server profile: You can disable unneeded fields on the tab "Module settings". Here you can also set the DN where your Radius profile templates are stored if you use the option "Profile". Now you will see the tab "FreeRadius" when editing users. The extension can be (de)activated for each user. You can setup e.g. realm, IP and expiration date.

You can manage your Heimdal Kerberos accounts with LAM Pro. Please add the user module "Kerberos (heimdalKerberos)" to activate this feature. Setup password changing LAM Pro cannot generate the password hashes itself because Heimdal uses a propietary format for them. Therefore, LAM Pro needs to call e.g. kadmin to set the password. The wildcards @@password@@ and @@principal@@ are replaced with password and principal name. Please use keytab authentication for this command since it must run without any interaction. Example to create a keytab: ktutil -k /root/lam.keytab add -p lam@LAM.LOCAL -e aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 -V 1 Security hint: Please secure your LAM Pro server since the new passwords will be visible for a short term in the process list during password change. User management You can specify the principal/user name, ticket lifetimes and expiration dates. Additionally, you can set various account options.

You can manage your MIT Kerberos accounts with LAM Pro. Please add the user module "Kerberos (mitKerberos)" to activate this feature. If you want to manage entries based on the structural object class "krbPrincipal" please use "Kerberos (mitKerberosStructural)" instead. Setup password changing LAM Pro cannot generate the password hashes itself because MIT uses a propietary format for them. Therefore, LAM Pro needs to call kadmin/kadmin.local to set the password. LAM will add "-q 'cpw -pw PASSWORD PRINCIPAL'" to the command to set the password. Please use keytab authentication for this command since it must run without any interaction. Keytabs may be created with the "ktutil" application. Security hint: Please secure your LAM Pro server since the new passwords will be visible for a short term in the process list during password change. Example commands: /usr/sbin/kadmin -k -t /home/www-data/apache.keytab -p realm/changepwd sudo /usr/sbin/kadmin.local User management You can specify the principal/user name, ticket lifetimes and expiration dates. Additionally, you can set various account options.

This module allows to add/remove the user in mail alias entries. Note: You need to activate the mail alias type for this module. To activate mail aliases for users please select the module "Mail aliases (nisMailAliasUser)": On tab Module settings you can select if you want to set the user name or email as recipient in alias entries. Now you will see the mail aliases tab when editing an user. The red cross will only remove the user from the alias entry. If you click the trash can button then the whole alias entry (which may contain other users) will be deleted. You can add the user to existing alias entries or create completly new ones.

LAM Pro manages all qmail attributes for users. This includes mail addresses, ID numbers and quota settings. Please note that the main mail address is managed on tab "Personal" if this module is active. Otherwise, it will be on the qmail tab. You can hide several qmail options if you do not want to manage them with LAM. This can be done on the module settings tab of your LAM server profile.

LAM supports to manage mail routing for user accounts. Module activation: This feature can be activated by adding the "Mail routing" module to the user account type in your server profile. Usage: You can specify a routing address, the mail server and a number of local addresses to route. In case you want to add this extension by default for new users there is an option in profile editor.

You can manage your public keys for SSH in LAM if you installed the LPK patch for SSH. Activate the "SSH public key" module for users in the server profile and you can add keys to your user entries.

You can setup PAM to check if a user is allowed to run a specific service (e.g. sshd) by reading the LDAP attribute "authorizedService". This way you can manage all allowed services via LAM. To activate this PAM feature please setup your /etc/libnss-ldap.conf and set "pam_check_service_attr" to "yes". Inside LAM you can now set the allowed services. You may also setup default services in your account profiles. You can define a list of services in your LAM server profile that is used for autocompletion. The autocompletion will show all values that contains the entered text. To display the whole list you can press backspace in the empty input field. Of course, you can also insert a service name that is not in the list.

LAM may create and delete mailboxes on an IMAP server for your user accounts. You will need an IMAP server that supports either SSL or TLS for this feature. To activate the mailbox management module please add the "Mailbox (imapAccess)" module for the type user in your LAM server profile: Now configure the module on the tab "Module settings". Here you can specify the IMAP server name, encryption options, the authentication for the IMAP connection and the valid mail domains. LAM can use either your LAM login password for the IMAP connection or display a dialog where you need to enter the password. It is also possible to store the admin password in your server profile. This is not recommended for security reasons. The user name can either be a fixed name (e.g. "admin") or it can be generated with LDAP attributes of the LAM admn user. E.g. $uid$ will be transformed to "myUser" if you login with "uid=myUser,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com". The mail domains specify for which accounts mailboxes may be created/deleted. E.g. if you enter "lam-demo.org" then mailboxes can be managed for "user@lam-demo.org" but not for "user@example.com". Use "*" for any domain. You need to install the SSL certificate of the CA that signed your server certificate. This is usually done by installing the certificate in /etc/ssl/certs. Different Linux distributions may offer different ways to do this. For Debian please copy the certificate in "/usr/local/share/ca-certificates" and run "update-ca-certificates" as root. It is not recommended to disable the validation of IMAP server certificates. The prefix, user name attribute and path separator specifies how your mailboxes are named (e.g. "user.myUser@localhost" or "user/myUser"). Select the values depending on your IMAP server settings. You can specify a list of initial folder names to create for new mailboxes. LAM will then create them with each new mailbox. When you edit an user account then you will now see the tab "Mailbox". Here you can create/delete the mailbox for this user.

You can manage the IP addresses of user accounts (e.g. assigned by DHCP) with the ipHost module. Configuration User editing

This is a very simple module to manage accounts based on the object class "account". Usually, this is used for host accounts only. Please pay attention that users based on the "account" object class cannot have contact information (e.g. telephone number) as with "inetOrgPerson". You can enter a user/host name and a description for your accounts.

This module is used to manage Unix group entries. This is the default module to manage Unix groups and uses the nis.schema. Suse users who use the rfc2307bis.schema need to use LAM Pro. Configuration Please add the account type "Groups" and then select account module "Unix (posixGroup)". GID generator: LAM will suggest GID numbers for your accounts. Please note that it may happen that there are duplicate IDs assigned if users create groups at the same time. Use an overlay like "Attribute Uniqueness" (example) if you have lots of LAM admins creating groups. Fixed range: LAM searches for free numbers within the given limits. LAM always tries to use a free GID that is greater than the existing GIDs to prevent collisions with deleted groups. Samba ID pool: This uses a special LDAP entry that includes attributes that store a counter for the last used UID/GID. Please note that this requires that you install the Samba schema and create an LDAP entry of object class "sambaUnixIdPool". Magic number: Use this if your LDAP server assigns the GID numbers automatically (e.g. DNA by 389 server). Enter the server's magic number setting. Disable membership management: Disables group membership management. This is useful if memberships are e.g. managed via group of names. Group management: Group membership management:

Some applications (e.g. Suse Linux) use the rfc2307bis schema for Unix accounts instead of the nis schema. In this case group accounts are based on the object class groupOf(Unique)Names or namedObject. The object class posixGroup is auxiliary in this case. LAM Pro supports these groups with a special account module: rfc2307bisPosixGroup Use this module only if your system depends on the rfc2307bis schema. The module can be selected in the LAM configuration. Instead of using groupOfNames as basis for your groups you may also use namedObject. Module activation: GID generator: LAM will suggest GID numbers for your accounts. Please note that it may happen that there are duplicate IDs assigned if users create groups at the same time. Use an overlay like "Attribute Uniqueness" (example) if you have lots of LAM admins creating groups. Fixed range: LAM searches for free numbers within the given limits. LAM always tries to use a free GID that is greater than the existing GIDs to prevent collisions with deleted groups. Samba ID pool: This uses a special LDAP entry that includes attributes that store a counter for the last used UID/GID. Please note that this requires that you install the Samba schema and create an LDAP entry of object class "sambaUnixIdPool". Magic number: Use this if your LDAP server assigns the GID numbers automatically (e.g. DNA by 389 server). Enter the server's magic number setting. Disable membership management: Disables group membership management. This is useful if memberships are e.g. managed via group of names. Force sync with group of names: This will automatically set the group memberships of the Unix part to the same members as set on group of names tab. The GID number will be filled automatically based on the server profile configuration. Group members can be edited and also synced with Group of (unique) names.

LAM supports managing Samba 3 groups. You can set special group types and also create Windows predefined groups like "Domain admins". Module activation: Group editing:

LAM can manage your Windows groups. Please enable the account type "Groups" in your LAM server profile and then add the group module "Windows (windowsGroup)(*)". The default list attributes are for Unix and not suitable for Windows (blank lines in account table). Please use "#cn;#member;#description" or select your own attributes to display in the account list. NIS support is deactivated by default. Enable it if needed on tab "Module settings". Now you can edit your groups inside LAM. You can manage the group name, description and its type. Of course, you can also set the group members. Group scopes: Global: Use this for groups with frequent changes. Global groups are not replicated to other domains. Universal: Groups with universal scope are used to consolidate groups that span domains. They are globally replicated. Domain local: Groups with domain local scope can be used to set permissions inside one domain. They are not replicated to other domains. Group type: Security: Use this group type to control permissions. Distribution: These groups are only used for email applications. They cannot be used to control permissions. With "Show effective members" you can show a list of all members of this group including members of subgroups and their subgroups.

Please activate the Kolab group module in your LAM server profile to activate Kolab support. You can specify the email address and also set allowed sender and recipient addresses.

LAM supports to manage mail routing for group accounts. Module activation: This feature can be activated by adding the "Mail routing" module to the group account type in your server profile. Usage: You can specify a routing address, the mail server and a number of local addresses to route. In case you want to add this extension by default for new groups there is an option in profile editor.

You can manage file system quotas with LAM. This requires to setup lamdaemon. File system quotas are not stored inside LAM but managed directly on the specified servers.

There are two LAM group modules depending if your group entries should be built on object class "pykotaObject" or a different structural object class (e.g. "posixGroup"). For "pykotaObject" please select "PyKota (pykotaGroupStructural(*))" and "PyKota (pykotaGroup)" in all other cases. Now you can add the PyKota extension to your groups.

Please see the description here.

The device object class allows to manage general information about all sorts of devices (e.g. computers, network hardware, ...). You can enter the serial number, location and a describing text. It is also possible to specify the owner of the device.

You can manage Samba 3 host entries by adding the Unix and Samba 3 account modules.

LAM can manage your Windows servers and workstations. Please enable the account type "Hosts" in your LAM server profile and then add the host module "Windows (windowsHost)(*)". The default list attributes are for Unix and not suitable for Windows (blank lines in account table). Please use "#cn;#description;#location" or select your own attributes to display in the account list. Now you will see you computer accounts inside LAM. You can set e.g. the server's description and location information.

You can manage the IP addresses of host accounts with the ipHost module. It manages the following information: IP addresses (IPv4/IPv6) location of the host manager: the person who is responsible for the host You can activate this extension by adding the module ipHost to the list of active host modules.

Hosts can have an unlimited number of MAC addresses. To enable this feature just add the "MAC address" module to the host account type.

LAM supports to manage your Puppet configuration. You can edit all attributes like environment, classes, variables and parent node. Configuration To activate this feature please edit your LAM server profile and add the host module "Puppet (puppetClient)" on tab "Modules". This will add the Puppet tab to your host pages. On tab "Module settings" in your LAM server profile you may also setup some common environment names. LAM will use them to provide autocompletion hints when editing the environment for a node. If you enter any value in "Enforce classes" then LAM will only accept this list of classes. Editing nodes When you edit a host entry then you will see the tab "Puppet". Here you can add/remove the Puppet extension and edit all attributes.

NIS netgroups can be used to e.g. restrict SSH access to your machines. Configuration Please add the module "NIS net groups (nisNetGroupHost)" to the list of active host modules. Host editing You will now see a new tab when editing hosts. Here you can assign memberships in NIS net groups and also set user/domain.

Samba 3 stores information about its domain settings inside LDAP. This includes the domain name, its SID and some policies. You can manage all these attributes with LAM. Please activate the account type "Samba domains" in your LAM server profile. Please notice that Samba by default uses the LDAP root for domain objects (e.g. dc=example,dc=com). This will add a new tab to LAM where you can manage domain information. The domain name, SID and RID base can only be specified for new domains and are not changeable via LAM at a later time. You may setup several password policies for your Samba domains and also some RID options that influence the creation of SIDs for users/groups/hosts.

These classes can be used to represent group relations. Since they allow DNs as members you can also use them to represent nested groups. Configuration: Activate the account type "Group of names" in your LAM server profile to use these account modules. Alternatively, you can use the account type "Groups". Then add the module "Group of names (groupOfNames)", "Group of unique names (groupOfUniqueNames)" or "Group of members (groupOfMembers)". On the module settings tab you set some options like the display format for members/owners and if fields like description should not be displayed. Group management: Group of (unique) names have four basic attributes: Name: a unique name for the group Description: optional description Owner: the account which owns this group (optional) Members: the members of the group (at least one is required) You can add any accounts as members. This includes other groups which leads to nested groups. To show members of nested groups click on "Show effective members". Please note that for large groups this will run lots of queries against your LDAP server.

This module manages roles via the organizationalRole object class. There is also a user module to manage memberships on the user edit page. Configuration: Activate the account type "Groups" in your LAM server profile to use this account module. Alternatively, you can use the account type "Group of names". Then add the module "Role (organizationalRole)". On the module settings tab you set some options like the display format for members and if description should not be displayed. Role management: You can add any accounts as members. This includes other roles which leads to nested roles (needs to be supported by LDAP client applications). To show members of nested roles click on "Show effective members". Please note that for large roles this will run lots of queries against your LDAP server.

LAM includes large support for Asterisk. You can add Asterisk extensions (including voicemail) to your users and also manage Asterisk extensions. The Asterisk support for users can be added by selecting the Asterisk and Asterisk voicemail modules for users in your LAM server profile. This will add the following tabs to your user accounts. The Asterisk module allows to edit a large amount of attributes. Therefore, you can hide unused fields. Please edit you server profile (Module settings) to do so. Of course, the voicemail part of Asterisk is also supported. If you also want to manage Asterisk extensions then simply add the account type "Asterisk extensions" and its module to your server profile. LAM groups your Asterisk extension entries by extension name and account context. If you edit an extension then you will see the Asterisk entries as rules. LAM manages that all rule entries have the same owners and assigns the priorities.

Zarafa is an OpenSource collaboration software. LAM Pro provides support to manage Zarafa server entries, users and groups. It covers all settings for these types including resource and quota settings. LAM Pro is an official Zarafa Certified Integration.

To enable Zarafa support in LAM Pro please activate the Zarafa modules for the Users, Groups and Hosts account types in you server profile: Attention: LAM Pro uses the Zarafa OpenLDAP schema as default. This schema fits for OpenLDAP, OpenDJ, Apache Directory server and other common LDAP servers. If you run Samba 4 or Active Directory then you need to switch the schema to "Active Directory" on the module settings tab: You can configure which parts of the Zarafa user options should be enabled. E.g. if you do not want to manage quotas per user then you can hide these options on the tab "Module settings". "Send as" attribute: Here you can specify how "Send as" privileges should be managed. LAM supports "uid" and "dn". If you select "uid" the LAM will store user names in the zarafaSendAsPrivilege attribute. This way you are restricted to specify user accounts as "Send as" allowed. You can also set this option to "dn" and LAM will store DNs in the zarafaSendAsPrivilege attribute. In this case you may specify users and groups as "Send as" allowed. Examples for your Zarafa ldap.cfg: "Send as" attribute: dn ldap_user_sendas_attribute_type = dn "Send as" attribute: uid ldap_user_sendas_attribute_type = text ldap_user_sendas_relation_attribute = uid Attention: If the Active Directory schema is used then LAM will always use dn and ignore this setting. Features: Zarafa 7 allows to enable IMAP/POP3 for each user. Please hide the option "Features" if you use Zarafa 6.x.

This is an example of the user edit page with all possible settings. This includes email settings, quotas and some options (e.g. hide from address book). You can also set the resource type and capacity for meeting rooms and equipment. The Zarafa extension can be added and removed at any time for every user. Please note that the option "Features" requires Zarafa 7. Please hide this option in the LAM server profile if you run Zarafa 6.x.

LAM Pro can manage your Zarafa contact entries. You can set the email aliases and "send as" privileges. Additionally, accounts may be hidden in the address book or disabled. Please note that you can either use the Zarafa user module or Zarafa contact. LAM Pro will disable the other tab when enabling one of them.

This is the edit page for groups. You can enter an email address and additional aliases for your groups. It is also possible to specify options (e.g. hide from address book). The extension can be added/removed dynamically. Please note that the option "Send-as privileges" requires the Zarafa 7.0.3 schema. Please hide this option in the LAM server profile if you run Zarafa < 7.0.3.

The Zarafa extension for host accounts allows to set the connection ports and file path. You can add/remove the extension at any time. Setting the public store option is only possible for new host entries. Please note that the proxy URL option requires the Zarafa 7.1 schema. Please hide this option in your LAM server profile if you use an older version.

Zarafa allows to store address lists in LDAP. You need to define a search base and LDAP filter for each address list. E.g. entering "ou=people,dc=company,dc=com" as base and "uid=*" will select all users that are stored in "ou=people,dc=company,dc=com". You can also hide your lists from the address book or temporarily disable them.

Zarafa allows to define dynamic groups in LDAP. You need to define a search base and LDAP filter for each group. E.g. entering "ou=people,dc=company,dc=com" as base and "uid=*" will select all users that are stored in "ou=people,dc=company,dc=com". Dynamic groups may have an email address and multiple email alias addresses. You can also hide your dynamic groups from the address book or temporarily disable them.

Please add the account type "Kolab shared folders" in your LAM server profile and set the correct LDAP suffix. Then add the "Kolab shared folder" module on tab "Modules". Now you can start to add shared folders inside LAM.

You can mange your DHCP server with LAM. It supports to manage subnets, fixed IP entries, IP ranges and DDNS. Configuration The DHCP management can be activated by adding the account type DHCP to your server profile. Please also add the DHCP modules. LAM requires that you use an LDAP entry with the object class "dhcpService" or "dhcpServer" as suffix for this account type. If the "dhcpServer" entry points to a "dhcpService" entry via "dhcpServiceDN" then you need to use the DN of the "dhcpService" entry as LDAP suffix for DHCP. Add account type: Set suffix: Add modules: Example server entry: dn: cn=server,ou=dhcp,dc=ldap-account-manager,dc=org objectclass: dhcpServer objectclass: dhcpOptions objectclass: top cn: server dhcpcomments: My DHCP server dhcpoption: domain-name "ldap-account-manager.org" dhcpoption: domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1 dhcpoption: routers 192.168.1.1 dhcpoption: netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1 dhcpoption: subnet-mask 255.255.255.0 dhcpoption: netbios-node-type 8 dhcpstatements: default-lease-time 3600 dhcpstatements: max-lease-time 7200 dhcpstatements: include "mykey" dhcpstatements: ddns-update-style interim dhcpstatements: update-static-leases true dhcpstatements: ignore client-updates Example settings for dhcpd.conf: ddns-update-style none; deny unknown-clients; ldap-server "server"; ldap-dhcp-server-cn "server"; ldap-port 389; ldap-username "uid=dhcp,ou=people,dc=ldap-account-manager,dc=org"; ldap-password "{SSHA}XXXXXXXXXXXX"; ldap-base-dn "ou=dhcp,dc=ldap-account-manager,dc=org"; ldap-method dynamic; ldap-debug-file "/var/log/dhcp-ldap-startup.log"; slapd.conf changes: include /etc/ldap/schema/dhcp.schema index dhcpHWAddress eq index dhcpClassData eq Run slapindex to rebuild the index. You can manage the settings of your DHCP service/server entry: You can easily create new subnet entries. It is also possible to specify a list of fixed IPs. IP ranges may be specified. If you use failover pools for your IP ranges please use the pool options on the bottom. Here you can add DHCP pools (object class "dhcpPool") and specify the failover peer. If you activated DDNS in the server entry then you may also specify the DDNS settings for this subnet.

Bind DLZ is an extension to the DNS server Bind that allows to store DNS entries inside LDAP. Please install the Bind DLZ schema file on your LDAP server. It is part of the DLZ patch. Configuration First, you need to add the Bind DNS account type and the Bind DLZ module: Please set the LDAP suffix either to an existing DNS zone (dlzZone) or an organizational unit that should include your DNS zones. Automatic PTR management LAM can automatically create/delete PTR entries for the entered IPv4/6 records. You can enable this feature on the module settings tab. PTR records will get the same TTL as IP records. Please note that you need to have matching reverse zones (".in-addr.arpa"/".ip6.arpa") under the same suffix as your other DNS entries. Zone management If you do not yet have a DNS zone then LAM can create one for you. In list view switch the suffix to an organizational unit DN. Now you will see a button "New zone". This will create the zone container entry and a default DNS entry "@" for authoritative information. Now switch the suffix to your new zone and start adding DNS entries. DNS entries LAM supports the following DNS record types: SOA: authoritative information NS: name servers A/AAAA: IP addresses PTR: reverse DNS entries CNAME: alias names MX: mail servers TXT: text records SRV: service entries Authoritative (SOA) and name server (NS) records Here you can manage general information about the zone like timeouts and name servers. Please note that name servers must be inserted in a special format (dot at the end). IP addresses (A/AAAA) LAM will automatically set the correct type (A/AAAA) depending if you enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address. Reverse DNS entries Reverse DNS entries are important when you need to find the DNS name that is associated with a given IP address. Reverse DNS entries are stored in a separate DNS zone. Alias names (CNAME) Sometimes a DNS entry should simply point to a different DNS entry (e.g. for migrations). This can be done by adding an alias name. Mail servers (MX) The mail server entries define where mails to a domain should be delivered. The server with the lowest preference has the highest priority. Text records (TXT) Text records can be added to store a description or other data (e.g. SPF information). Services (SRV) Service records can be used to specify which servers provide common services such as LDAP. Please note that the host name must be _SERVICE._PROTOCOL (e.g. _ldap._tcp). Priority: The priority of the target host, lower value means more preferred. Weight: A relative weight for records with the same priority. E.g. weights 20 and 80 for a service will result in 20% queries to the one server and 80% to the other. Port: The port number that is used for your service. Server: DNS name where service can be reached (with dot at the end). File upload You can upload complete DNS zones via LAM's file upload. Here is an example for a zone file and the corresponding CSV file. @ IN SOA ns1.example.com admin.ns1.example.com (1 360000 3600 3600000 370000) IN NS ns1.example.com. IN NS ns2.example.com. IN MX 10 mail1.example.com IN MX 20 mail2.example.com foo IN A 123.123.123.100 foo2 IN CNAME foo.example.com bar IN A 123.123.123.101 IN AAAA 1:2:3:4:5 Please check that you have an existing zone entry that can be used for the file upload. See above to create a new zone. Hint: If you use the function above to create a new zone then please skip the "@" entry in the CSV file below. LAM creates this entry with sample data. In this example we assume that the following zone extry exists: dn: dlzZoneName=example.com,ou=bind,dc=example,dc=com dlzzonename: example.com objectclass: dlzZone objectclass: top Here is the corresponding CSV file: bindUpload.csv

Some applications use the object class "alias" to link LDAP entries to other parts of the LDAP tree. Activate the account type "Aliases" in your LAM server profile to use this account type. Currently, only user accounts can be aliased with the "uidObject" object class.

You can manage mail aliases (e.g. for NIS) inside LAM. This can be used to replace local /etc/aliases files with LDAP. Note: Use the mail alias user module to manage mail aliases on user pages. All accounts of this type are based on the "nisMailAlias" object class and may have "cn" and "rfc822MailMember" attributes. To activate this type please add "Mail aliases" in your LAM server profile: You need to select the Mail aliases module on the next tab. The mail aliases will then appear as separate tab inside LAM. You may then manage the aliases with their names and recipient addresses. There are mail/user icons that allow to select a mail address/user name from the existing users.

LAM supports to define NIS netgroups. You can use them e.g. to restrict SSH access to your machines. Add the NIS net group account type and its module to your server profile. Then you can manage net groups in LAM. Net groups may contain other net groups as child groups. You can either insert the host/user names manually or print the search buttons next to the input fields to find existing entries in your directory.

You can manage NIS objects with LAM Pro. This allows you define network mount points in LDAP. Add the NIS objects type to your LAM configuration and then the NIS objects module. This will add the NIS objects tab to LAM.

LAM Pro allows you to manage automount entries. Please activate the account type "Automount objects" in your LAM Pro server profile. Then add the correct automount module. Usually, this is "Automount entry (automount)". If you use Suse Linux with RFC2307bis schema please select "Automount entry (rfc2307bisAutomount)". This will add a new tab to LAM Pro's main screen which includes a list of all automount entries. Here you can easily create new entries. Please see the following external HowTos for more information on automounting and LDAP: AutofsLDAP Automount über LDAP (German)

Oracle allows to manage connection data that is stored in tnsnames.ora to be stored in an LDAP directory. Initial setup LDAP server setup: You will need to install the correct Oracle LDAP schema files on your LDAP server. If you run no Oracle LDAP server then you can get them (oidbase.schema, oidnet.schema, oidrdbms.schema, alias.schema) e.g. from here. Next you need to create the root entry for Oracle. It should look like this: dn: cn=OracleContext,dc=example,dc=com objectclass: orclContext cn: OracleContext You can create it with LAM's tree view. Please note that "cn" must be set to "OracleContext". LAM setup: Edit your LAM server profile and add the Oracle account type: In case you manage a single Oracle context just enter the cn=OracleContext entry as LDAP suffix. If you manage multiple Oracle context entries then set the LDAP suffix to a parent entry of them. Next, add the Oracle module: Now you can login to LAM and start to add database entries. Managing database entries Each database has a service name, the connection string and an optional description. Database client setup for LDAP You need to activate the LDAP adapter to make the database tools reading LDAP. Edit network/admin/sqlnet.ora like this: NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, LDAP) Then add a file called ldap.ora next to your sqlnet.ora and set the LDAP server and DN suffix where cn=OracleContext is stored: DIRECTORY_SERVERS= (ldap.example.com:389:636) DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT = "ou=ctx1,ou=oracle,o=test,c=de" DIRECTORY_SERVER_TYPE = OID This will allow e.g. tnsping to get the connection data from LDAP: [oracle@oracle bin]$ tnsping mydb TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 12.1.0.1.0 - Production on 09-FEB-2014 18:06:54 Copyright (c) 1997, 2013, Oracle. All rights reserved. Used parameter files: /home/oracle/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora Used LDAP adapter to resolve the alias Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=mydb.example.com)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=orcl))) OK (10 msec)

OpenLDAP supports the ppolicy overlay to manage password policies for LDAP entries. This allows you to set password policies which are independent from your applications. The policies are managed internally by the LDAP server. You can manage these policies with LAM Pro with the account type "Password policies". You will need to add the ppolicy schema to your OpenLDAP configuration and activate the ppolicy overlay module in slapd.conf to use this feature.

Please add the account type "Printers (PyKota printers)" on tab "Account types" in your server profile and setup the LDAP suffix where printers are stored. Then add the PyKota printer module on tab "Account modules". Next you can start managing printers inside LAM. Here you can setup the costs for a print job. LAM will also show if the printer is member of any printer groups. You can also setup printer groups. Just add some members to your new group.

Please add the account type "Billing codes" on tab "Account types" in your server profile and setup the LDAP suffix where billing codes are stored. Then add the PyKota billing code module on tab "Account modules". Now login to LAM and you will see the billing code tab where you can manage your entries. If jobs were printed with a billing code then you will also see the balance and page count.

This module allows you to manage LDAP attributes that are not covered by the other LAM modules (e.g. if you use custom LDAP schemas). You can fully define how your input fields look like: Label LDAP attribute name Unique name for field Help text Read-only display Field type: text, password, text area, checkbox, radio buttons, select list, file upload Validation via regular expression Error message if validation fails Limitations: Custom fields cannot manage structural object classes attributes that require validation rules across multiple attributes or cannot be described by a simple regular expression Activating the custom fields module: You may specify custom fields for all of your account types. Please enter tab "Modules" in your server profile. Now activate the "Custom fields (customFields)" module for all needed account types. Setting label and icon: You may set the label that is displayed e.g. on the tab when editing an account. It is also possible to specify an icon (must be a valid URL like "/images/icon.png" or "http://server/images/icon.png"). The icon size should be 32x32 pixels. LAM will display a default icon and "Custom fields" as label if you do not enter any values. You may also specify how LAM displays cutom fields when there are multiple field groups. The default is accordion view where you can switch field groups by clicking on the title. You may also deactivate this mode. Then all field groups are displayed one below the other. Defining groups: All input fields are devided into groups. A group may contain one or more object classes and allows you to add/remove a certain set of input fields. E.g. you may define two groups - "My application A" and "My application B" - that manage different LDAP attributes and object classes. This way you will be able to control both attribute sets independently. To create a group please edit your server profile and switch to tab "Module settings". You will see the section "Custom fields" which allows you to add new groups. Now select your account type (e.g. Users) and specify an alias for your group. This alias will be printed as group header when you later edit an account in the admin interface. After you created your new group you can setup the managed object classes. If you specify any object classes then you will later be able to add/remove a complete set of attributes including their object classes. Skipping the object classes field is only useful if you want to manage some attributes that are not yet supported by LAM but there is already a LAM module that manages the object class. The group may look like when you edit a user. Adding fields: Now you can add a new field that manages an LDAP attribute. Simply fill the fields and press on "Add". Please note that the field name cannot be changed later. It is the unique ID for this field. Examples for fields and their representation: Text field: Text fields allow to specify a validation expression and error message. You can also enable auto-completion. In this case LAM will search all accounts for the given attribute and provide auto-completion hints when the user edits this field. This should only be used if there is a limited number of different values for this attribute. In case your field is a date value you can show a calendar for easy editing. Example calendar formats: dd.mm.yy: 31.12.2016 yy-mm-dd: 2016-12-31 d M, y: 31 Dec, 16 d MM, y: 31 December, 2016 Presentation: Password field: You can also manage custom password fields. LAM Pro will display two fields where the user must enter the same password. You can hash the password if needed. Presentation: Text area: This adds a multi-line field. The options are similar to text fields. Additionally, you can set the size with the number of columns and rows. Please note that the validation expression should be set to multi-line. This is done by adding "m" at the end. Presentation: Checkbox: Sometimes you may want to allow only yes/no values for your LDAP attributes. This can be represented by a checkbox. You can specify the values for checked and unchecked. The default value is set if the LDAP attribute has no value. Presentation: Radio buttons: This displays a list of radio buttons where the user can select one value. You can specify a mapping of LDAP attribute values and their display (label) on the Self Service page. To add more mapping fields please press "Add more mapping fields". Presentation: Select list: Select lists allow the user to select a value in a large list of options. The definition of the possible values and their display is similar to radio buttons. You can also allow multiple values. Presentation: Validation expressions: The validation expressions follow the standard of Perl regular expressions. They start and end with a "/". The beginning of a line is specified by "^" and the end by "$". Examples: /^[a-z0-9]+$/ allows small letters and numbers. The value must not be empty ("+"). /^[a-z0-9]+$/i allows small and capital letters ("i" at the end means ignore case) and numbers. The value must not be empty ("+"). Special characters that must be escaped with "\": "\", ".", "(", ")" E.g. /^[a-z0-9\.]$/i File upload: This is used for binary data. You can restrict uploaded data to a given file extension and set the maximum file size. Presentation: The uploaded data may also be downloaded via LAM.

LAM Pro allows you to execute scripts whenever an account is created, modified or deleted. This can be useful to automate processes which needed manual work afterwards (e.g. sending your user a welcome mail or register a mailbox). Additionally, you can specify manual scipts that can be executed from within LAM Pro. To activate this feature please add the "Custom scripts" module to all needed account types on the configuration pages. In "Module settings" you can specify multiple scripts for each action type (e.g. modify) and account type (e.g. user). The scripts need to be located on the filesystem of your webserver and will be executed in its user environment. E.g. if you webserver runs as user www-data with the group www-data then the custom scripts will be run under this user with his rights. The output of the scripts will be shown in LAM. You can specify the scripts on the LAM configuration pages. Syntax: Please enter one script per line. Each line has the following format: <account type> <action> <script> E.g.: user preModify /usr/bin/myCustomScript -u $uid$ Account types: You can setup scripts for all available account types (e.g. user, group, host, ...). Please see the help on the configuration page about your current active account types. Actions: Action name Description preCreate Executed before creating a new account (cancels operation if a script returns an exit code > 0, not available for file upload) postCreate Executed after creating a new account (does not run if preCreate or LDAP operations fail) preModify Executed before an account is modified (cancels operation if a script returns an exit code > 0) postModify Executed after an account was modified (does not run if preModify or LDAP operations fail) preDelete Executed before an account is modified (cancels operation if a script returns an exit code > 0) postDelete Executed after an account was modified (does not run if preDelete or LDAP operations fail) manual Can be run manually on account page. If you add LAMLABEL="text" before the command then LAM will use the text as label for the button in account edit screen. Script: You can execute any script which is located on the filesystem of your webserver. The path may be absolute or relative to the PATH-variable of the environment of your webserver process. It is also possible to add commandline arguments to your scripts. Additionally, LAM will resolve wildcards to LDAP attributes. If your script includes an wildcard in the format $ATTRIBUTE$ then LAM will replace it with the attribute value of the current LDAP entry. The values of multi-value attributes are separated by commas. E.g. if you create an account with the attribute "uid" and value "steve" then LAM will resolve "$uid$" to "steve". Please note that manual scripts can only use the current LDAP attribute values of the account. Any modifications done that are not saved will not be available. Manual scripts are also not available for new accounts that are not yet saved to LDAP. You can switch LAM's logging to debug mode if you are unsure which attributes with which values are available. The following special wildcards are available for automatical scripts: $INFO.userPasswordClearText$: cleartext password when Unix/Windows password is changed (e.g. useful for external password synchronisation) for new/modified accounts $INFO.userPasswordStatusChange$: provides additional information if the Personal/Unix password locking status was changed, possible values: locked, unlocked, unchanged $INFO.passwordSelfResetAnswerClearText$: cleartext answer to security question $INFO.389lockingStatusChange$: for 389ds account locking, provides information if account was unlocked. Possible values: unchanged, unlocked $INFO.389deactivationStatusChange$: for 389ds account locking, provides information if account was deactivated. Possible values: unchanged, activated, deactivated $NEW.<attribute>$: the value of a new attribute (e.g. $NEW.telephoneNumber$) for modified accounts $DEL.<attribute>$: the value of a deleted attribute (e.g. $DEL.telephoneNumber$) for modified accounts $MOD.<attribute>$: the new value of a modified attribute (e.g. $MOD.telephoneNumber$) for modified accounts $ORIG.<attribute>$: the original value of an attribute (e.g. $ORIG.telephoneNumber$) for modified accounts Output may contain HTML: If your scripts generate HTML output then activate this option. Hide command in messages: You may want to prevent that your users see the executed commands. In this case activating this option will only show the command output but not the command itself. You can see a preview of the commands which will be automatically executed on the "Custom scripts" tab. Here you can also run the manual scripts.

You can manage your sudo roles in LDAP if you have installed the sudo-ldap package or compiled sudo with LDAP support. To activate sudo management in LAM Pro edit your server profile and add the type "Sudo roles". Now you can create sudo commands. The sudo roles in LDAP work similar to those in /etc/sudoers. You can specify who may run which commands as which user. It is also possible to specify options like NOPASSWD.

LAM Pro supports LDAP views based on the "nsview" object class. These views allow to create an organizational unit that shows a subset of your LDAP content. The subset is determined by an LDAP filter. Configuration: To activate view management in LAM Pro edit your server profile and add the type "LDAP views". Now you are ready to create your views. Each view has a name, LDAP filter and an optional description.

This module is available for all account types. It shows some internal information about the LDAP entries like the creation time and who modified the entry. If you use the "memberOf" overlay in OpenLDAP then this will also show group memberships done by the overlay.

The tree view provides a raw view on your LDAP directory. This feature is for people who are experienced with LDAP and need special functionality which the LAM account modules not provide. E.g. if you want to add a special object class to an account or edit attributes ignoring LAM's syntax checks. There are also some special functions available: Export: This allows you to export entries to a file (e.g. LDIF or CSV format). Show internal attributes: Shows internal attributes of the current entry. This includes information about the creator and creation time of the entry.
