[INTEGRATION] uidNumber: missing on nslcd authentication

[coldsobolev]

Describe the bug
Unable to login via nslcd.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup an LLDAP server inside Docker
2. Install nslcd, and configure to use the LLDAP server
3. Try to login to a user provided only by the LLDAP server

Expected behavior
Login works.
Logs
nslcd gives the following error:
uid=tuser,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com: uidNumber: missing

If there are any other way to authenticate users into linux machines without local accounts, please provide alternatives.

uidNumber is not provided by default. If you use the latest LLDAP, you can create a custom user attribute uidNumber and set the value for each user.
The web UI doesn't fully support custom attributes yet (you can create them but not set values), but you can use lldap-cli as a friendlier interface than GraphQL.

I am actually not sure what is causing the issue here, but I used the community CLI to add this and it didn't work. This is what I got:

lldap-cli $ ./lldap-cli schema attribute user add uidNumber integer
ERROR: Unknown type \AttributeType\
Unknown field \addUserAttribute\ on type \Mutation\

Any idea what is causing this? How does one do this directly via the API?

[nitnelave]

That's likely because you're using the stable version of LLDAP instead of the latest. User attributes have not technically been released yet (we're just waiting on the UI)

Thank you. Could you give me an ETA?
