In our environment, we allow another team to add and remove LDAP users via a Perl script. The name of the account is uid=useradd,dc=subdomain,dc=example,dc=com.
- Create the account using the following LDIF:
dn: uid=useradd,dc=subdomain,dc=example,dc=com uid: useradd givenName: useradd account objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetorgperson sn: for ldap script cn: useradd account for ldap script userPassword: password
- We intentionally do not place the account within ou=people so that it is not displayed using ldaplist passwd.
- We also do not make the account a member of the objectClasses posixAccount and shadowAccount so that various non-applicable attributes are not required (e.g., homeDirectory, loginShell, etc.).
- Modify the ACI on ou=people so that this account can add and remove LDAP accounts.
dn: ou=people,dc=subdomain,dc=example,dc=com changetype: add aci=(targetattr="*") (version 3.0; acl "Allow useradd to modify ou=people"; allow (all) userdn="ldap:///uid=useradd,dc=subdomain,dc=example,dc=com" ;)
