Hi Jordi,
Well done! An interceptor is what you need for this IMHO. simply implement the relevant add delete and modify methods and update your attribute. I would point you to the source code for he interceptors , especially the tests. I'm not that bright sometimes ;-) but the examples contained helped me write a very simple replication mechanism for embedded ApacheDS :-)

Hi!
Finally I added a new objectClass, that is identical at groupOfNames but it has the mail attribute.

Anyone knows how I can update the email attribute with the mail attributes of the members added? Also when one is deleted, the attribute mail only haves the list of mail of the remained members.....

Any idea?

I just search in the help about Interceptors, but the documentation is poor....

Thanks!

You could perhaps use a custom Interceptor for that. This is a read only attribute is it not? Care to provide a few examples of what you need done?

Yes, perhaps this is a solution, but it doesn't work if you don't have an automatic manner to fill the mail 'attribute' with the list of mail attributes of the members of the group (with a semicolon between every address....)

Regards!

You could provide a schema extension and define the attributes you need :-)

Hi, all!
My names is Jordi and i'm implementing an addressbook in Apache Directory Server to work with several email clients like Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, etc... This work well with normal contacts, if you know the mappings that use Windows email clients...

But the problem comes when i try to emulate the group of contacts in the LDAP side...

As you know there are two group classes in LDAP, groupOfNames and groupOfUniqueNames, but they hasn't the mail attribute.... In past, there was the rfc822mailmember but it seems that is deprecated....

If i build the groupOfNames, i can find from the email client, but obviously, doesn't have the mail attribute.....

My question, there is any solution to acomplish that?

I think that perhap a solution is to build a procedure that we you call from email clients with their cn=emailList return a "contact" with mail attribute build in with the list of mail members......

Before start to study how to do that, program it, etc.... anyone knows if this idea is useful and can work?

Thanks to all!
