LDAP USER MANAGER Developed by Leonardo Robol [email protected]

1. What is LUM?

LUM, or Ldap User Manager aims to be a simple graphic interface to manage Ldap Accounts in the GNOME desktop. It hasn't many feature at the moment being, but is quite simple to setup and should bring you everything you need if you just add/remove/change users and groups in an LDAP directory.

There are not so many tools to achieve this, and many of them are web frontend (that I don't like much) or are generic LDAP tool. These one are in fact more powerful than LUM as they can manage any type of data, but are less simple because you have to struggle with LDAP syntax.

LUM aims to be simple and with an hassle-free setup.

2. Hot do I install it?

You can easily run it from its own directory launching

./lum.py

You can install it system-wide with the following command:

python setup.py install

with root privileges. Ubuntu users can get the packaged version via the PPA:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:leo.robol/lum sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lum

Only the "stable" versions are packaged there, so if you want to follow every improvemente you should use the git repository on github.com.

You will need the following python modules:

gtk (>= 2.16) , ldap, crypt, gnomekeyring

and If you use Ubuntu or Debian you can get them with:

sudo apt-get install python-gtk2 python-ldap python-crypto python-gnomekeyring
