[openFATE 313143] YaST LDAP client refactor/cleanup
Feature changed by: Ralf Haferkamp (rhafer) Feature #313143, revision 3 Title: YaST LDAP client refactor/cleanup openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Ralf Haferkamp (rhafer) + Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Jiri (jsuchome) an I recently discussed some cleanup work we'd like to see in the YaST ldap-client module. This feature lists the main items we'd like to see reworked to improve the Module: Remove no longer needed UI elements Candidates are: * The TLS/SSL checkbox (sssd has a hard requirement for SSL/TLS) * The "LDAP Version 2" checkbox in the advanced settings. (there is AFAIK no LDAPv2-only Server implementation left) * The "Use LDAP but Disable Login" Radio Button Restrict the UI to handle only really LDAP client related things Currently the UI contains quite some settings which are not strictly related to LDAP client (nss/pam) setup. Over the year ldap-client became a bit of a disposal site for all kinds of LDAP related things, which made the UI a bit hard to understand. We should move some things to YaST modules where make a better fit. This is mostly about the settings currently available in the "Administration Settings" Tab (in "Advanced Configuration") * The Password Policies settings seem to fit better into the ldap- server module which already contains some of this functionality * Default Configuration Objects for other YaST modules (e.g. mail, dns, dhcp). Where possible the need for those special configuration objects should be removed. When a specific service still requires those configuration objects the YaST module for that service should be able to handle those objects it self (we could still offer utils API for that in yast2-ldap/ldap-client). E.g. the user management related object should be configured from inside the yast2-users module. yast2- ldap-server could offer to create default objects during the initial LDAP server setup. * The Home Directories on This Machine checkbox seems to be better suite in the Users module as well. * The rest of the values which go to /etc/sysconfig/ldap could be written by yast2-ldap-servers. We still need to figure out how to setup /etc/sysconfig/ldap on machines which to not run the LDAP Server but need access to those settings. (yast2-mail, -dns-server, -dhcp-server) * Adapt the API: move the LDAP* functions from ldap-client (impact on other modules!) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313143
