gislab-machines: store database of machines in LDAP #471

Open imincik opened 8 years ago

imincik commented 8 years ago

Store database of machines in LDAP (preferably only list of MACs not whole DHCP server config) and use it to generate DHCP server config. Following attributes should be stored with MAC:

title: machine name
MAC
description: optional machine description

Things to do:

update gislab-machines to read MACs from LDAP
update backup scripts to backup LDAP configuration

See:

@imincik which format use for backup MAC addresses list?

all MAC addresses in one line separated by comma - very ease to import:

# gislab-machine -a $(cat /path/to/macs.list)

one MAC address per line - ease to import
in LDIF format - it could interfere with existing MAC addresses list (duplicite records etc.), harder to import

where to save MAC addresses list in backup file? what's your idea to add machine description? for what is this good? i think that "common name" may be used as "title".
