Handle schema extension used for OpenLDAP attribute ordering
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSTUDIO-528
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-528
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: studio-ldapbrowser
Affects Versions: 1.4.0
Reporter: Torsten Rehn
>From the OpenLDAP docs:
"Since the ordering of olcAccess directives is essential to their proper
evaluation, but LDAP attributes normally do not preserve the ordering of their
values, OpenLDAP uses a custom schema extension to maintain a fixed ordering of
these values. This ordering is maintained by prepending a "{X}" numeric index
to each value [...]"
I don't know if ADStudio intends to support this, but if it does: it's a mess
right now. Editing and reordering those attributes is almost impossible. This
is really needed when editing access rules set via olcAccess in cn=config. Are
there any plans for handling those attributes better? The current situation
makes me want to go back to slapd.conf.
My guess is that this would require some special editor that reads all values
of the attribute being edited, strips the curly braced indexes and uses
"changetype: replace" to modify the entire attribute instead of a single value.
I understand that OpenLDAP is probably not your main concern, but it would be
nice.
