[Bug 238282] New: while changing the first or last name of ldap users, the cn is not updated
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238282 Summary: while changing the first or last name of ldap users, the cn is not updated Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: reitenbach@rapideye.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com As the cn entry in ldap consists of a first name and last name, it should get updated when the first name or last name of the user is changed. Many services use the cn, and not the first and last name fields from the ldap server, and therefore present the "not updated", plain wrong, values. as far as I can see, the uid is the field to distinguish users, it shouldn't be a problem to change the cn. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

However, these rules are applied only on creating new user, not on editing. When editing. I'm not sure if user wouldn't rather leave the old settings and only let change those that were changed manually.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238282 rhafer@novell.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |NEW Info Provider|rhafer@novell.com | ------- Comment #6 from rhafer@novell.com 2007-01-30 03:59 MST ------- Hard to tell. As it is pretty awkward for the user to change the "cn" Attribute. (IIRC he has to go to the plugin tab, start the LDAP Attribute Plugin and edit the "cn" there). On the other hand just updating the "cn" in any case can have very strange and non-obvious effects for the user of yast2-users. E.g. if I change the "uid" Attribute the "homedirectory"-Attribute will also get update. In most cases that's not what the user indented. The best would probably be to offer a more convenient way to edit a user's LDAP Attributes. I just don't have an idea yet, how that could work without throwing the idea of having the dialogs for local and LDAP users as similar as possible over board. But I digress a bit ;). To come back to the main question. I think the attribute should not automagically be updated when editing a user, for the above mention reasons. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
