Hi, just a quick heads up about an old question from 2019 on this list:

While Quanah is right, that loading two instances of slapo-memberof works fine if configured with different target attributes (config option `memberof-memberof-ad`), technically slapd denies loading multiple instances of overlays since 2009: <https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6030> Maybe one could challenge that decision to deny loading multiple instances per se, as I think this limitation is not inherent to overlays in general but may be reasonable for specific modules. Actually, I understand that some overlay modules specify "SLAPO_BFLAG_SINGLE", so the general constraint introduced via <https://git.openldap.org/search?group_id=13&project_id=1&repository_ref=master&scope=commits&search=its%236030> may be a child of its time and unnecessary today. See also <https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9309#c2>.
