Is there any update on this plugin from luca (version 6)? I am trying to implement OMV in a Small Business and need to connect to an external LDAP server. I have tried following the steps to get it installed, it even says it is installed within the omv-extras section (green tick), however I cannot see the LDAP configuration menu item on the left hand side within all the other options to start configuring LDAP service. Am I missing something?

Hi all, i'm adapting the plugin for version 5:

https://github.com/seb36273/openmediavault-ldap

to version 6 with also some bug fix.

https://github.com/lucapiccio/openmediavault-ldap

Is currently under development but it should be work.

I'm writing the web admin part.

- added to smb machine and uid OU

- forced to StartTLS ou SSL (desacived clear text connexion)

- conifigured to ignore cert validity to permit selfsigned cert

- patched signaled bugs in origin repository for config files

- Created .deb inside the repo to make more easy the installation

Have a nice days

Hi all,

Just an update for anyone in the future if they wanted to know.

So I just tested it and confirmed with the getfacl command that indeed the implementation of the "Inherit ACLs" Checkbox is dynamic in nature and only refers to the immediate parent directory (a.k.a the one immediately above it) and not the Global Parent Samba Shared folder (e.g. GPS/ mentioned above)

That suits our needs and impressed with the implementation of OMV.

Thanks.

Hi,

At the request of the moderator creating a new thread continuing the line of this one: Nested shared folders

I have a similar question in regards to how ACLs work with multiple shared folders but only the parent folder actually configure to be offered over SAMBA. It was the last question asked by gtsitouridis' last post on that thread.

Essentially, in essence, I am curious how does the "Inherit ACLs" checkbox work.

Lets say I have 4 shared folders created all with different ACLs and setup as per below

Folder 1: GPS/

Folder 2: GPS/Data

Folder 3: GPS/Temp

Folder 4: GPS/Temp/User

If I only SAMBA share the parent folder e.g. GPS/, and the checkbox "Inherit ACLs" is checked, do any new files/folders created by users within each subfolder down (nested folders) inherit the Global Parent Samba Shared folder ACLs (GPS/) or only the next parent folder above it?

E.g. If a user makes a folder in the GPS/Temp/User directory called "trip" will this folder inherit the ACLs associated with "GPS/Temp/User" or the "GPS/" folder's ACLs?

I ask this as the checkbox option is only referred to in the settings of the parent SAMBA shared "GPS/" folder and am unsure if it is a global tick box setting that is static by nature (only copies the GPS/ folders ACLs to all other folders) or if it is dynamic in the way it is implemented for nested shares (copies different ACLs based on the one above parent folder).

Appreciate the support.

This is a great question as I am having a similar issue around setting up nested shared folders and only wanting to provide different permissions to each sub folder while only sharing to parent folder, if that makes sense.

Did you ever find a solution?

I too believe maybe on the parent folder you would need to disable inherit permissions and inherit ACLs and set them up individually for each sub folder no?
