samba.kcc_utils.Partition : API documentation

A naming context discovered thru Partitions DN of the config schema.

This is a more specific form of NamingContext class (inheriting from that class) and it identifies unique attributes enumerated in the Partitions such as which nTDSDSAs are cross referenced for replicas

Method	__init__	Instantiate a NamingContext
Method	load_partition	No summary
Method	is_enabled	Returns True if partition is enabled
Method	is_foreign	Returns True if this is not an Active Directory NC in our forest but is instead something else (e.g. a foreign NC)
Method	should_be_present	Tests whether this partition should have an NC replica on the target dsa. This method returns a tuple of needed=True/False, ro=True/False, partial=True/False
Method	__str__	Debug dump string output of class

Inherited from NamingContext:

Method	load_nc	Undocumented
Method	is_schema	Return True if NC is schema
Method	is_domain	Return True if NC is domain
Method	is_application	Return True if NC is application
Method	is_config	Return True if NC is config
Method	identify_by_basedn	Given an NC object, identify what type is is thru the samdb basedn strings and NC sid value
Method	identify_by_dsa_attr	No summary

def load_partition(self, samdb):

Given a Partition class object that has been initialized with its partition dn string, load the partition from the sam database, identify the type of the partition (schema, domain, etc) and record the list of nTDSDSAs that appear in the cross reference attributes msDS-NC-Replica-Locations and msDS-NC-RO-Replica-Locations.

Parameters samdb sam database to load partition from

def should_be_present(self, target_dsa):

Tests whether this partition should have an NC replica on the target dsa. This method returns a tuple of needed=True/False, ro=True/False, partial=True/False

Parameters target_dsa should NC be present on target dsa
