Using different attribut names in LDAP ?

Is there an easy way to rename the attributes that are asked via LDAP, or do we have to change them in the source code ? If the source code change is the only way, would changing them in ftp-ldap.c suffice or not ? --- ftp-ldap.c 2005-01-10 12:30:49.000000000 +0100 +++ ftp-ldap.c.new 2005-08-03 16:40:00.683141568 +0200 @@ -601,7 +601,7 @@ /* ** Evaluate the destination FTP server address. */ - p = ldap_attrib(ld, e, "DestinationAddress", NULL); + p = ldap_attrib(ld, e, "our_next_hop", NULL); if(NULL != p && ctx->magic_addr == INADDR_ANY) { ctx->srv_addr = socket_str2addr(p, INADDR_ANY); if(INADDR_ANY == ctx->srv_addr) { hhloksec01:/usr/src/proxy-suite-1.9.2.4/ftp-proxy # The idea is to make them comply better to company rules so they are not mistaken and easy readable in a quite big number of attributes. Thanks for any hints, Jan-Uwe

Support for scp/sftp

I found that support for ftp over SSL is halfway implemented, but is there any idea or intention to implement support for scp/sftp ? Yes, I found the entry in the TODO file, that scp is meant to be supported in the future, but that file is from 2002, so that might have changed.. Regards, Jan-Uwe

Re: [proxy-suite] different destination address based on LDAP attribute ?

Following up to myself for the archive: If you read the Documentation properly you'll find that certain values like DestinationAddress, DestinationPort and others are not only global configurable, per also on a per user base and additionaly not only into the config file, but also requestable via LDAP. So, if you want to give certain users a different next hop, just insert a new LDAP attribute DestinationAddress into their LDAP entry with the value of the IP or the DNS name of the wanted next hop. Alternatively, you add a paragraph like [name_of_the_user] DestinationAddress 10.0.0.99 for every user that needs a different next hop to your config file. Thanks for Marius Tomaschweski for his patient support and this great software! Regards, Jan-Uwe
