krb5-sync To-Do List

General:

• Look at http://code.google.com/p/krb5-adsync/ (based on this code) for what ideas can be incorporated back into this package. Currently, code cannot be shared due to licensing reasons.

Plugin:

• Support a list of accounts that should be synchronized instead of doing the configuration by instance.

• In Heimdal, error reporting when the Active Directory configuration exists but the keytab does not is horrible. Nothing is logged and the client just gets a generic failure message.

• Support instance-specific roots, DN mappings, and transforms for accounts (such as would be needed for /sunet instances at Stanford).

• Use krb5_chpw_message to parse AD replies.

Configuration:

• krb5-sync-backend should get the path to Perl from configure.

• Currently, the queue path is hard-coded in krb5-sync-backend even though for the plugin it's configurable in krb5.conf. krb5-sync-backend needs to be able to read the krb5.conf value somehow.

Test Suite:

• Provide a way to point to a test realm for testing password change actions.

• Mock out LDAP libraries to test pushing Active Directory status changes.

• In krb5-sync-backend, search the user's PATH plus sbin directories for krb5-sync instead of hard-coding the path to it.

• Add tests for krb5-sync-backend process and purge. This may require a way to tell krb5-sync-backend which time to use when creating queue files instead of always using the current time.

• Add tests for allowed instances.

• Add tests for ad_base_instance, which will require initializing a local Kerberos database and pointing kadm5srv to it.
