Administrative LDAP user example

From Brandonhutchinson.com

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:

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.).
