Description Arvid Requate

Currently the school OU and the school base DN are determined by searching for the left-most occurance of "OU=" in a DN. This may cause problems when schools decide to create sub-OUs (e.g. for GPO-assignment purposes).

If ucsschool/ldap/district/enable is true, then the school OU should be determined from the second occurance of "OU=" from the right in a DN, neglecting the ldap/base.

If ucsschool/ldap/district/enable is false then for consistency the school OU should probably simply be determined from the right most occurance of "OU=" in a DN, neglecting the ldap/base.


At least two places need to be checked:

* The Python function ucsschool.lib.schoolldap._init_search_base
* The school_ou function in /usr/share/ucs-school-lib/base.sh

Is this relevant for the exam mode and needs to be fixed?

Ideally, this should be solved through Bug 31070.

Comment 3 Arvid Requate

For Updates to the more general proposal of Bug 31070 we will have to identify OUs properly, also in district mode.
