[cifs-protocol] CAR - ldap display specifiers (SRX090713600122)

[Bill Wesse]

Good morning again - just touching bases with you concerning the ldif dumps for the display specifiers.

The ldf files have been generated, and work on the licensing agreement is in progress. As soon as we have, I will provide the ldf content to you. Here is a list of covered versions (by platform):

Windows 2000
Windows 2003
Windows 2003R2
Windows 2008
Windows 2008R2

Public posting locations are still to be determined, but I do expect clearance to make them (unofficially) available on our blog, similar to where we have posted the previous schema content:

Using the Windows Server Protocols documentation set to better understand the Active Directory Schema http://blogs.msdn.com/openspecification/archive/2009/06/26/using-the-windows-server-protocols-documentation-set-to-better-understand-the-active-directory-schema.aspx

Thanks again for your patience!

Good morning once again Andrew.

Our document development folks (for [MS-ADTS], [MS-ADSC] & [MS-ADA(1,2,3)]) are currently working on ldif dumps for Windows 2000 and beyond; these, of course will omit domain specific information and replication metadata.

We will provide these as soon as possible, along with licensing information, of course. I have forwarded your comments to those involved in that.

Bill,

Honestly, this really isn't very useful.  I can search against an AD server as well as you can, as can the users who have been bugging me to include into Samba the results of their own searches. 

What we are asking for is this kind of output, but under a the previously agreed licence, with the output defined as 'schema' (ie, falling clearly under the inclusion exception).  

I think what we need is to get a procedure in place whereby we can get this kind of thing released under a licence that works for both the PFIF and Microsoft.  In particular it needs single licence, preferably the one we have on the schema.  In particular it really does need not to be unique per release - each new text has to be cleared by multiple Linux vendors. 

I'm sure we can work something out.

Thanks,


Andrew Bartlett
