schema should be devised. Implementors are strongly advised to support end-user extensible mappings between NIS entities and object classes. (Where the nisObject class is used, the nisMapName attribute may be used as a RDN.)5.6. Canonicalizing entries with multi-valued naming attributes For entities such as hosts, services, networks, protocols, and RPCs, where there may be one or more aliases, the respective entry's relative distinguished name SHOULD be used to determine the canonical name. Any other values for the same attribute are used as aliases. For example, the service described in section 5.5 has the canonical name "domain" and exactly one alias, "nameserver". The schema in this document generally only defines one attribute per class which is suitable for distinguishing an entity (excluding any attributes with integer syntax; it is assumed that entries will be distinguished on name). Usually, this is the common name (cn) attribute. This aids the DUA in determining the canonical name of an entity, as it can examine the value of the relative distinguished name. Aliases are thus any values of the distinguishing attribute (such as cn) which do not match the canonical name of the entity. In the event that a different attribute is used to distinguish the entry, as may be the case where these object classes are used as auxiliary classes, the entry's canonical name may not be present in the RDN. In this case, the DUA MUST choose one of the non- distinguished values to represent the entity's canonical name. As the directory server guarantees no ordering of attribute values, it may not be possible to distinguish an entry deterministically. This ambiguity SHOULD NOT be resolved by mapping one directory entry into multiple entities.6. Implementation focus A NIS server which uses LDAP instead of local files has been developed which supports the schema defined in this document. A reference implementation of the C library resolution code has been written for the Free Software Foundation. It may support other C libraries which support the Name Service Switch (NSS) or the Information Retrieval Service (IRS). The author has made available a freely distributable set of scripts which parses local databases such as /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts into a form suitable for loading into an LDAP server.Howard Experimental [Page 15]RFC 2307 Using LDAP as a Network Information Service March 19987. Security Considerations The entirety of related security considerations are outside the scope of this document. It is noted that making passwords encrypted with a widely understood hash function (such as crypt()) available to non- privileged users is dangerous because it exposes them to dictionary and brute-force attacks. This is proposed only for compatibility with existing UNIX system implementations. Sites where security is critical SHOULD consider using a strong authentication service for user authentication. Alternatively, the encrypted password could be made available only to a subset of privileged DUAs, which would provide "shadow" password service to client applications. This may be difficult to enforce. Because the schema represents operating system-level entities, access to these entities SHOULD be granted on a discretionary basis. (There is little point in restricting access to data which will be republished without restriction, however.) It is particularly important that only administrators can modify entries defined in this schema, with the exception of allowing a principal to change their password (which may be done on behalf of the user by a client bound as a superior principal, such that password restrictions may be enforced). For example, if a user were allowed to change the value of their uidNumber attribute, they could subvert security by equivalencing their account with the superuser account. A subtree of the DIT which is to be republished by a DUA (such as a NIS gateway) SHOULD be within the same administrative domain that the republishing DUA represents. (For example, principals outside an organization, while conceivably part of the DIT, should not be considered with the same degree of authority as those within the organization.) Finally, care should be exercised with integer attributes of a sensitive nature (particularly the uidNumber and gidNumber attributes) which contain zero-length values. DUAs MAY treat such values as corresponding to the "nobody" or "nogroup" user and group, respectively.8.
