15.2. Applying Custom Object Classes to New User Entries

Add all of the custom schema elements to the 389 Directory Server instance used by Identity Management. Adding schema elements is described in the schema chapter of the Directory Server Administrator's Guide.

Open the IPA Server tab.

Select the Configuration subtab.

Scroll to the User Options area.

At the bottom of the users area, click Add to include a new field for another object class.

When the changes are complete, click Save at the top of the Configuration page.

Add all of the custom schema elements to the 389 Directory Server instance used by Identity Management. Adding schema elements is described in the schema chapter of the Directory Server Administrator's Guide.

Add the new object class to the list of object classes added to entries. The option for user object classes is --userobjectclasses.

All object classes must be included in the list of object classes. The information passed with the config-mod command overwrites the previous values. This can be done by specifying each object class with a --userobjectclasses argument or by listing all of the object classes in a comma-separated list inside curly braces with no spaces allowed, such as {attr1,attr2,attr3}. Especially for long lists, it can be easier to use the curly braces than multiple options. For example:

ipa config-mod --userobjectclasses={top,person,organizationalperson,inetorgperson,inetuser,posixaccount,krbprincipalaux,krbticketpolicyaux,ipaobject,ipasshuser,employeeinfo}

[bjensen@server ~]$ ipa config-mod --userobjectclasses={top,person,organizationalperson,inetorgperson,inetuser,posixaccount,krbprincipalaux,krbticketpolicyaux,ipaobject,ipasshuser,employeeinfo}
