No (obvious) way to select the pool allocation method
In earlier versions, we could set the idAllocationMethod to pool (default being traditional) in the fusiondirectory.conf flat file, and also the min and max uid/gid allowed. Now that all the conf is in LDAP, it looks like there's no way to select the pool allocation method because the following attribute are not defined in LDAP:
fdidAllocationMethod fduidPoolMin fduidPoolMax fdgidPoolMin fdgidPoolMax
There's a fdIdGenerator attribute defined in the schema, which should be usable, but:
- get_next_id function (in functions.inc) still tries to read idAllocationMethod, which doesn't exists
- this fdIdGenerator attribute can be set in the general config with a free field. It should be changed to a drop-down list with only valid allocation methods (pool or traditional), so it's more obvious how to change this setting
- the min and max attrs are still not available, so the default of 10000 and 40000 (hardcoded in get_next_id_pool) will always be used
(FYI, the traditional allocation method is not usable for me because it can re-use UID/GID of deleted users, which can be a security issue)
