Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-1844: ---------------------------------------------- It's not implemented. We have more urgent things to deal with. Side note : memberOf is a hack, and I don't think it's a very valuable feature. It saves a search, but the server has to pay the price for it : * either you store the information in *each* entry and then doing a MODDN is potentially *very* costly (we are talking about minutes of processing if there is a lot of such entries) * or it's computed on the fly, and that mean an extra search is done internally. Typically something that *seems* smart, but isn't. > Add support for memberOf virtual attribute > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: DIRSERVER-1844 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1844 > Project: Directory ApacheDS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Jay Danielsen > Priority: Major > > Several ldap servers support a reverse group membership lookup capability for > access control. > using the rfc4519 groupOfNames objectclass/member attribute, and/or > groupOfUniqueNames objectclass/uniqueMember attribute. > references: > http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/overlays.html (Section 12.8.
