Hello
I'd like to use the slapo-dynlist overlay, to generate an automatically
updated list of attributes onan object. My problem is that I want the
attribute name to be different than the original:
I have
dn: cn=list,o=home
objectClass: groupOfURLs
cn: list
memberURL: ldap:///o=home?foo?sub?(objectClass=fooClass)
In slapd.conf:
overlay dynlist
dynlist-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL
A search on cn=list,o=home gives me:
dn: cn=list,o=home
objectClass: groupOfURLs
cn: list
foo: value1
foo: value2
foo; value3
...
But I would like it to be displayed that way:
dn: cn=list,o=home
objectClass: groupOfURLs
cn: list
bar: value1
bar: value2
bar; value3
...
It seems this is not possible with current software (please correct me
if I'm wrong). I propose a contribution to slapo-dynlist, to include
attribute name remapping capability. In the config file, this qould be
configured by extending the member-ad parameter:
overlay dynlist
dynlist-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL foo:bar
Of course, for backward compatibility,
dynlist-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL foo
would still be equivalent to
dynlist-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL foo:dn
The modification you propose could make sense, but I believe it could be
more general if more than one attribute could be mapped. The behavior
in case an optional arg#3 is added to the dynlist-attrset statement
should be viewed as something different: it is basically intended to
make slapo-dynlist implement dynamic groups, that's why it expands to
the dn. To obtain what you mean, the syntax should rather be something like
dynlist-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL [foo:]bar [...]
where if [foo:] is absent, [dn:] is used instead. Any further attribute
pair, if present, would be mapped as well.
I suggest you file an ITS for this proposed enhancement.
