= EDIR Gateway Scripts = == POWER BROKER RULES: == * transfer_token_file * used to transfer gateway related files (needs mods) * token files, lock files, etc - between servers * destroy_token_file * used to remove token files from all servers * pull_token_file * used to transfer files between servers (pulls rather than pushes to avoid ssh timeout issues) **Note:** All of the Power Broker rules are defined to work with the iplanet owned directory /export/home/iplanet/local/ldap/web/log/. Until such time as the Power Broker rules are modified, all EDIR/AUTHSERV/UPDATE logging needs to share that directory.

If no credentials are present, the resulting form contains a subset of the form variables otherwise displayed and queries utilize the gateway interface credentials. Depending on the name used to call ldap_search (ldap_dept_query and ldap_query are links to ldap_search), the search form is customized to support either "people" or "department" searches. ldap_sec_update Generates an HTML form used only by account owner to update private question and response. ldap_seed_department Generates an HTML form allowing creation of "faux" department records ('04' UID extension). ldap_seed_resource Generates an HTML form allowing creation of ou=resource records. ldap_seed_routing Generates an HTML form allowing creation of ou=routing records (for @alaska.edu mail routing). ldap_update Generates an HTML form allowing users to update, add and delete LDAP attribute values for their own LDAP record and the records of those for which they have update ability.
