Adding user to group
In order to add an existing user to an existing group into the infrastructure, create a small file addusertogroup.ldif with the following contents:
dn: cn=<mga-groupname>,ou=Group,dc=mageia,dc=org changetype: modify add: member member: uid=<user-login>,ou=People,dc=mageia,dc=org
where <mga-groupname> is the group you want to add the user to, and <user-login> is the login of the user.
Then run (using your login as uid) on a host on Mageia infrastructure:
[root@duvel ~]# ldapadd -H ldaps://ldap.mageia.org -D uid=$USER,ou=People,dc=mageia,dc=org -W -f addusertogroup.ldif
Removing user from group
In order to remove an existing user from an existing group, create a small file remove.ldif with the following contents:
dn: cn=<mga-groupname>,ou=Group,dc=mageia,dc=org changetype: modify delete: member member: uid=<user-login>,ou=People,dc=mageia,dc=org
where <mga-groupname> is the group from which you want to remove the user, and <user-login> is the login of the user.
Then run (using your login as uid) on a host on Mageia infrastructure:
[root@duvel ~]# ldapmodify -H ldaps://ldap.mageia.org -D uid=$USER,ou=People,dc=mageia,dc=org -W -f remove.ldif
Removing owner of group
Before removing an owner of a group, ensure that another valid & active owner will remain. Create a small file removeowner.ldif with the following contents:
dn: cn=<mga-groupname>,ou=Group,dc=mageia,dc=org changetype: modify delete: owner owner: uid=<user-login>,ou=People,dc=mageia,dc=org
where <mga-groupname> is the group from which you want to remove the user, and <user-login> is the login of the user.
Then run (using your login as uid) on a host on Mageia infrastructure:
[root@duvel ~]# ldapmodify -H ldaps://ldap.mageia.org -D uid=$USER,ou=People,dc=mageia,dc=org -W -f removeowner.ldif
