Recommendation

Option 1 is the recommended solution for the following reasons:

• It yields a DIT that is simple to understand and navigate.

• API change is not unexpected for simp/simpkv since it is still experimental (version < 1.0.0) and not used by default.

• SIMP can help with the transition to lowercase key names for any existing simpkv key paths or simplib::passgen password names (whether using legacy mode or simpkv mode).

  • Any SIMP-provided modules that uses simplib::passgen can be modified to ensure the password names are downcased.

  • The simplib::passgen function that uses simpkv can be modified to downcase existing password names that have any uppercase letters and then to emit a warning.

  • In the script SIMP will provide to import any existing simpkv key entries or simplib::passgen passwords into an LDAP simpkv backend, there can be a check for uppercase letters in the destination key paths. The script can either skip the import of the problematic entries, or warn the user of the conversion. Then, it would be up to the user to make any adjustments to their manifests.
