Description

Following #3372, system groups are now displayed in the Rudder UI, but the names and description are not easy to understand.

There is four groups concerned(with DN and description) are :

  • Root policy server
    • DN = ruleTarget=policyServer:root,groupCategoryId=SystemGroups,groupCategoryId=GroupRoot,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration
    • A special target which only matches the policy server with the ID given after the semicolon
  • All servers
    • DN = ruleTarget=special:all,groupCategoryId=SystemGroups,groupCategoryId=GroupRoot,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration
    • A special target which matches absolutly all known nodes, including policy servers
  • All user servers
    • DN = ruleTarget=special:all_exceptPolicyServers,groupCategoryId=SystemGroups,groupCategoryId=GroupRoot,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration
    • A special target which matches all user nodes (no policy server s)
  • Root server group
    • DN = nodeGroupId=hasPolicyServer-root,groupCategoryId=SystemGroups,groupCategoryId=GroupRoot,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration
    • Root server goup

Their name and description should be renamed to :

  • Root policy server
    • ??
  • All nodes
    • ??
  • All managed nodes
    • ??
  • All nodes managed by policy server root
    • ??

Those change should be done in the LDAP using a migration script

The system group category should be renamed from "System group category" to "System groups" which is more user friendly

Assigned to Jon to complete what should be changed

Will this entry change its description ?

  • "All servers " --> "All nodes"
    • New description: All nodes known by Rudder (including Rudder policy servers)
  • "All user servers" --> "All managed nodes"
    • New description: All nodes known by Rudder (excluding Rudder policy servers)
  • "Root server group " --> "All nodes managed by root policy server"
    • New description: All nodes known by Rudder directly connected to the root server

To change them, an LDIF containing instructions below works:

dn: ruleTarget=special:all,groupCategoryId=SystemGroups,groupCategoryId=GroupRoot,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration
changetype: modify
replace: cn
cn: All nodes

dn: ruleTarget=special:all,groupCategoryId=SystemGroups,groupCategoryId=GroupRoot,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration
changetype: modify
replace: description
description: All nodes known by Rudder (including Rudder policy servers)

dn: ruleTarget=special:all_exceptPolicyServers,groupCategoryId=SystemGroups,groupCategoryId=GroupRoot,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration
changetype: modify
replace: cn
cn: All managed nodes

dn: ruleTarget=special:all_exceptPolicyServers,groupCategoryId=SystemGroups,groupCategoryId=GroupRoot,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration
changetype: modify
replace: description
description: All nodes known by Rudder (excluding Rudder policy servers)

dn: nodeGroupId=hasPolicyServer-root,groupCategoryId=SystemGroups,groupCategoryId=GroupRoot,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration
changetype: modify
replace: cn
cn: All nodes managed by root policy server

dn: nodeGroupId=hasPolicyServer-root,groupCategoryId=SystemGroups,groupCategoryId=GroupRoot,ou=Rudder,cn=rudder-configuration
changetype: modify
replace: description
description: All nodes known by Rudder directly connected to the root server

The system group category should be renamed from "System group category" to "System groups" which is more user friendly

I don't understand what you mean. All entries seem already to be "groupCategoryId=SystemGroup", what is asked to change ?

It has been decided by Jon to be 'Only the root policy server'
