Hello World!

My name is Mickaël alias sodbaveka. I created this repository as a lab to discover git, gitHub, Python and Ansible.

My project as a learner is to create a python script to automate the saving of objects from an ldap directory to files of different exploitable formats (ldif, json, yml). Another python script will allow data to be restored to a backup server, using the generated json file. These scripts will be factored into Ansible modules.

Ansible will therefore have the following task:

• install and configure openLDAP,
• to install a Web interface allowing the management of the entries (for example, users, groups, DHCP parameters) stored in an LDAP directory,
• play the backup and restore scripts.

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Bye ;-)
