[Kolab-devel] [issue401] slave bootstrap should provide better default ldap base dn

[Bernhard Herzog]

New submission from Bernhard Herzog <bh at intevation.de>:

When bootstrapping a slave, the bootstrap script asks for the base-dn of the
master server.  The default is built just like that of the master from the fwdn
of the slave.  In a multilocation setup this default value is never correct for
the slave.  It would be better if e.g. the first part of the fqdn of the slave
were stripped so that the base dn suggested for slave.example.com would be
dc=example,dc=com .  

Even better might be to try to deduce it from the fqdn of the slave and the uri
of the master ldap server which was already entered at the point where the
script asks for the base dn.  E.g. the slave is slave.example.com and the master
uri is ldaps://master.example.com/.  The script would take the part of the
domain both have in common, in this case example.com as the basis.
