perl-ad-manager

[Darren Young]

I'm in the process of creating an all Perl/LDAP based AD management set
of libraries and scripts and am looking for any assistance in
development and/or testing it. Our overall goal has been to have a
toolset that can be used from UNIX/Linux to manage AD based objects.
Things like provisioning, deprovisioning, password changes/resets,
Exchange mailbox and email address management.

The set I'll be publishing will be based on our internal account
management toolkit that we've been developing and running in production
for the past 7 or so years.

If you're interested, it's hosted at Google code here:
http://code.google.com/p/perl-ad-manager/

Any help with design, development or testing would be greatly
appreciated.

Darren,

I'd be glad to help out with a few things...

I am in a software company who is just in the process of converting several systems to use LDAP auth via AD (not Access control just yet), and find myself creating several scripts mostly around auditing, user support, etc.

Just a few notes:

Checked out via svn all worked just fine.
Didn't see obvious documentation.
Tried to run acctmgr.pl
Had to modify Perl path (/usr/local/bin/perl vs /usr/bin/perl)
Started to find missing deps
installed Config::Simple
Could not find Lingua::EN::NameParse.pm (checked CPAN)

Stopped :-(

I didn't make it very far but no worries - what I lack in intelligence, I make up for with persistence.

Poking about some, it looks like I may be missing several other modules - so far I'm stuck at Lingua...

I wasn't too sure about whether or not to reply back to the group - pls advise..

Looking forward to collaborating with you...

I do much the same thing with a series of roll-your-own systems running on
Linux. I'd love to help out.

[John Arends]

I've hacked stuff like this together, so I also agree this would be useful.

I'm not a huge perl whiz, but I'd be happy to help with testing, etc.

[Young, Darren]

The original_import is extremely custom to our environment here but
contains many worker functions that I plan on "rolling up" into new code
at the top. Unfortunately, that code was never really meant to go
outside of our campus so it's not all that installable "out of the box".
I'll drop a README in that directory for this.

[Young, Darren]

Well, the first thing I'm going to work on is the project goals document
and a features roadmap.

[Phil Lembo]

I'll try giving some time to this as well. In our environment we've got a
mish-mosh of scripts I wrote over the last 10 years that are sorely in need
of refactoring, reordering and, in some cases, retirement. It will be good
to see how others have handled the same issues I've run across (dealing with
nicknames and weird character sets has been my own personal hell for years).
My stuff has also been way too specific to the eccentricities of how things
developed in our company.

Hi Darren,

I really suck at programming but would like to get better so please let me know if I can help you in any capacity.

Thanks

John

Have you looked at tools such as smbldap-tools (or, the re-write,
http://search.cpan.org/~ghenry/Samba-LDAP-0.05/)

While some of the objectclasses/attributes etc. will differ, the majority of
the concepts are the same, and will only converge more as Samba4 approaches.

Regards,
Buchan

I'll look and see what's up with it.
