Hello,
I'm wondering if there exists a simple way to enrich values returned by
ipa, with external data (eg., telephone numbers).
You could of course write a Python script to first query a, say, Phone
Directory database application, then retrieve all users in ipa and merge
the two kinds of data. But I'm looking for a more lightweight approach,
which ideally doesn't involve external databases.
In general, nothing prevents you from writing a server-side IPA API
plugin that would pull this data from somewhere and combine it with
other content for the specific object (user in this case). It is not
done by default for obvious reasons: IPA has no knowledge about these
external databases and cannot provide such functionality by default.
Phone numbers are part of IPA user object by default, so if you'd store
that information in IPA LDAP, you'd get it returned. 'ipa user-add' or
'ipa user-mod' both support these additional options which is typically
enough to cover a traditional directory information:
--street=STR Street address
--city=STR City
--state=STR State/Province
--postalcode=STR ZIP
--phone=STR Telephone Number
--mobile=STR Mobile Telephone Number
--pager=STR Pager Number
--fax=STR Fax Number
--orgunit=STR Org. Unit
--title=STR Job Title
--manager=STR Manager
--carlicense=STR Car License
..
--departmentnumber=STR
Department Number
--employeenumber=STR Employee Number
--employeetype=STR Employee Type
--preferredlanguage=STR
Preferred Language
