Since this is the potentially controversial part of the proposal, the spec should preemptively answer questions about it. "unknown" and "shouldn't" are bad words in an ARC case... I recommend checking a recent nevada build to list everything which links with APR and confirming those app(s) don't have any issues with the change and documenting that investigation. For approval, the case needs to convincingly show this change won't cause breakage elsewhere in nevada/OpenSolaris. > 4.5.

In fact, reading 2008/507 I see it doesn't declare anything to be "External". So it is "Volatile", above. > 4.6.1.

Nit, but recommended to whom? I guess above is saying next apache integration will include such a sample? If so, state it that way: "A sample LDAP configuration showing ldaps connections to the Sun Directory Server will be included." -- Jyri J. Virkki - jyri.virkki at sun.com - Sun Microsystems
