You should change this configuration to use 2.5 dynlist's memberOf support.

Ah, it seems I stupidly didn't look at the examples at the bottom of the man page 8-/.

I'm not using any dynamic groups, so I guess the example relevant to me is:

dynlist-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL member+memberOf@groupOfNames

which is described as "This example extends the dynamic memberOf feature to add the memberOf attribute to all the members of both static and dynamic groups".

I don't have any dynamic groups, so no objects with the class groupOfURLs will contain a memberURL attribute. So what exactly would this do? Hmm. I tried it and it seems to work. Wow, you can even search by memberOf now, you couldn't do that before, nice.

How does this get triggered? Previously, if I searched for a user, it would match on the object class for the user and expand the memberURL dynamically, filling in the memberOf attribute. What makes the overlay add in the attributes when I search for a user, as the group isn't referenced? Perhaps some source code spelunking is in order :).

This appears to solve my problem, but I am still curious why the config that worked fine under 2.4 blew up under 2.5.

Thanks much...
