Related to this, is there any mechanism for automatically updating the
member value of a group (eg groupOfNames) if the DN of the member changes?
No, not yet. We need to add a mechanism allowing such an update.
The best way for use to handle this is not to create a specific mechanism
for this but to use triggers and stored procedures to manage referential
integrity in general.
This was my first idea, but I think in this specific case, it would be a
bit complex to manage : a memberof attributeType has references to many
potential DNs, and as SP are only activated when a modification occurs,
it would have to check all the places in the server which potentially
holds a memberOf attribute and control if it contains one of the moved
entry's DN.
Instead of what having a computed memberOf AttributeType would easily
solve the problem: you keep a reference to the entry, and rebuild the DN
on the fly.
Note that with a SP, we could do the exact same thing except that we
don't execute a SP when processing search requests...
The best solution would of course to have a SP which is associated with
the entry containing the memberOf, and does the lookup (a computed
memberOf attribute, sort of)
