Open LDAP / Active Directory modelling
« on: February 05, 2020, 12:03:33 am »
Is there anything in EA which already covers this
I'd like to be able to document which parts of the LDAP object classes/attributes our systems actually use & how/where we've applied our own custom classes/attributes

I've used the DB reverse engineering tool to pull in table structures/relationships before

??Is there something similar for LDAP/AD

Otherwise it looks like I'm going to have to draw up a Class Diagram/Tree model to 'plot' what we do use

Any help - appreciated

Pretty sure there isn't. Nothing in EA's base functionality leaps out, and I'm not aware of any third-party extension that'll do it either.

It wouldn't be particularly complicated to do, I think, but the AD schema is pretty massive so it'd be a lot of work to get it all in.

My theories are always correct, just apply them to the right reality.

I use class diagrams.  You could probably build the whole Active Directory class/object model if you wanted, but I generally work just with small subsets.  For example mapping attributes from AD user to the Cisco Call Manager user.

Some of models have been fairly large in the past as user attributes flow to most line of business applications.
