Description Peter Varkoly 2005-09-27 13:50:07 UTC

There is no possible to add an LDAP-User. An error message occurs:
"The home directory may only contain the following characters:
a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _-/
Try again."

I've analysed, and yast2 generates a bad home directory:
e.g. : for the user varkoly -> /home/%uid/varkoly

I've configured an SL10 with LDAP backend  on gsx16.suse.de.

Ah, I probably broke it with some previous fix. Workaround: if you go to Details
tab from Edit user tab before clicking Accept, it should work.

Could you test again with this patch?

Comment 6 Jiří Suchomel 2005-09-29 11:11:19 UTC

What was the result?

Comment 7 Jiří Suchomel 2005-09-29 14:55:07 UTC

Fixed in yast2-users-2.13.2

Andreas, this issue might deserve a YOU patch. The problem is that with default
setting, name of home directory for new LDAP user is (internaly) wrongly
generated and yast2-users complains. It could be worked around (see comment #4),
but it is annoying (as necessary for every user creation).

Generally, LDAP suport is more SLES-feature, but this part (users and groups)
should work correctly also in the box.

Please, comment.

Ok, let's fix it.

Comment 9 Jiří Suchomel 2005-09-29 16:27:10 UTC

OK. Now waiting for Peter if he confirmes that new package works.

New package (for 10.0) could be found here:
