There is a tl_nds_common python module in tlmisc which is broadly used in the product. however it seems that it is only used within the novell components to be removed. $ grep -ir tl_nds_common * | awk -F: '{print $1}' | sort | uniq tladm/modules/thinlinc/tlwebadm/edirectory.py tlmisc/Makefile tlmisc/modules/thinlinc/tl_nds_common.py tlmisc/scripts/tl-get-novelluser tlmisc/scripts/tl-mount-ncp tlmisc/scripts/tl-nds-check-expired tlmisc/scripts/tl-nds-dncontains tlmisc/scripts/tl-nds-memberof-container tlmisc/scripts/tl-nds-mountpath tlmisc/scripts/tl-nds-posixgroup tlmisc/scripts/tl-nds-posixuser tlmisc/scripts/tl-nds-repairuids tlmisc/scripts/tl-nds-userparam tlmisc/scripts/tl-nwlogin tlmisc/scripts/tl-nwlogout autotests/tlmisc/etc/thinlinc.hconf autotests/tlmisc/test_tl_nds_common.py

Documentation removed in commit 30681. However there is a whole chapter LDAP-auth-edir which should be removed, this documentation refers to following tools which is a part of tlnc (Novell Configurator): tl-nds-posixuser tl-nds-posixgroup tl-nds-check-expired tl-set-novelluser.sh calls tl-get-novelluser tl-set-novelluser sets a environment variable TLNOVELLUSER with username and context which tl-run-rdesktop is using. cleanup this part i tl-run-rdesktop

(In reply to comment #1) > - tl-certtool have special code / argument to produce Novell compliant subject > line. > tl-certtol is used by tl-ldap-certalias to get certificate information out of a cert. The special novellSubjecname code is used when using novell_certificate_subjectname matching. tl-ldap-certalias.hconf: # In the case of certificates being stored separate from the user # objects, how should tl-ldap-certalias match certificates to users? # Choices are sameobject, novell_certificate_subjectname certificate_user_match=sameobject If we remove this, tl-ldap-certalias will not work with a eDirectory environment. So let's leave it as is.
