This would be great If it were based on SCIM (https://www.simplecloud.info/ ) 
and then expanded for operations that aren't user specific.

Dear all,

I am a "long time user" of OpenLDAP core parts.
If the core is very stable, I often received some request from application 
developers, complaining about the lack of REST Web Service API to manipulate 
their Directory objects.

Of course, as far as I could see, there is commercial solution available to do 
this, or even a project using Spring.
But I could not see a simple proposal based on a simple Apache Server and 
"fully free" of rights.

I also saw 
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.openldap.org/devel/contributing.html__;!!H3PqUTRkow!4AIH8ZJ2NdJgG7fjESoNG9wvZyBKDeUAhQ_mEYQswdaI1tRUcvw9udJEYBYLhJFpyjgrxbk$
  ) that "The OpenLDAP Project welcomes contributions of 
independently-developed stand-alone LDAP-related software packages suitable for 
distribution separately from existing packages (e.g., OpenLDAP Software, JLDAP, 
JDBC-LDAP)".

Then, I would like to propose a full Open Source first realease of a CRUD REST 
Web Service to manipulate OpenLDAP's Directory Objects.

I know that this first release is very limited in term of features, but I think 
it does the "core job", and may be a common base to be enriched to build a real 
OpenLDAP REST API ?
Package available here:

Thanks for your time reading this proposal, do not hesitate to ask if you have 
any question.
Kind regards,
Olivier Chator
