Manually augmenting users/groups for wiki server.

Question

can someone tell me what a group looks like after its been augmented for use by wiki server? i need to manually change this because i need leopard installed in advanced mode and i also need to use my tiger OD server as my OD server NOT leopard. what i am trying to do is unsupported, i know, but i don't care if i have to write lines of code for every user, i just need to get it done.
is anyone else out there dealing with this?

Hi
You could have tried this yourself however what follows takes all of 10-15 seconds and should give you pretty much anything you want:
dscl
list
cd LDAPv3
list
cd IPaddress or FQDN of your LDAP Server
You should now see something like this:
AccessControls
AutoServerSetup
CertificateAuthorities
ComputerLists
Computers
Config
FileMakerServers
Groups
Locations
Machines
Mounts
Neighborhoods
People
PresetComputerLists
PresetGroups
PresetUsers
Printers
Users
cd Users
list
You should now see something like this:
diradmin
root
user1
user10
user2
user3
user4
user5
user6
user7
user8
user9
vpn_73565997fb81
Follow this with read followed by the the name of the user you are interested in. eg:
read user1
You should now see a whole raft of information some of which will look like this:
NFSHomeDirectory: /Network/Servers/serverfqdn/Volumes/HardDrive/Users/user1
Password: ******
PhoneNumber: 12345 678901
Picture: /Library/User Pictures/Nature/Cactus.tif
PostalCode: NG16 2DQ
PrimaryGroupID: 20
RealName: User1
RecordName: user1 User1
RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:Users
State: addressinfo
Street: addressinfo
UniqueID: 1025
UserShell: /bin/bash
As you can see you get the UID number as well as the GUID. Does this answer your post?
