Re: Photos in the 7.1.x GAL

Hi Matt,
I think that page is pretty clear that one should never make changes to the zimbra.ldif file. Any changes made to that file will not be preserved across upgrades. I would also note that LDAP already ships with an RFC defined attribute for storing photos. It is called "jpegPhoto", and is part of the inetorgperson objectClass. All zimbra people objects are migrated to being of the inetorgperson objectClass as part of the ZCS8 upgrade. So all you really need to do is upgrade to ZCS8, and you can simply add jpegPhoto to your existing people objects without needing any sort of custom schema. 

Hope this helps,
Quanah

OK....so I probably don't want to be editing the existing file
(cn\=\{3\}zimbra.ldif), or do I?  This file has the some of the other GAL
attributes....

...

# sn            - last name (sir name)
# st            - state
# telephoneNumber - phone
#
olcObjectClasses: ( zimbraAccount
  NAME 'zimbraAccount'
  DESC 'Account object'
  SUP zimbraMailRecipient AUXILIARY
  MUST (
    uid $
    zimbraAccountStatus $
    zimbraId
  )
  MAY (
    c $
    cn $
    co $
    company $
...

Which means I should be creating a new ldif file....like
cn\=\{10}mynewattrs.ldif.... I'm guessing.  Do I create a whole new
olcObjectClass and put the one attribute in it.  Just something like this?


dn: cn={10}mynewattrs
objectClass: olcSchemaConfig
cn: {10}mynewattrs
olcAttributeTypes: ( SOME_NUMBER_HERE NAME 'photoFileName'
  DESC 'some description'
  SUP myOC )
olcObjectClasses: ( SOME_NUMBER_HERE NAME 'myOC'
  DESC 'some description'
  SUP zimbraMailRecipient AUXILIARY
  MAY (
    photoFileName $ )
)

Then LDAP stop/start and away I go....or am I way off?


Thanks,
Matt

Following up on an old thread.  I'm working on this now for my 7.2.4
system and am stuck on adding a custom LDAP attribute (photoFileName) to
Zimbra.  Are there clear docs out there on how to accomplish this?


Also....anyone know how implementation of this feature changes in version
8?


Matt
