Contributing an overlay which submits modification in LDAP to a web-page through libcurl.
Thanks for the contribution. Without having looked too much into the solution you designed, however, I believe you moved too much effort at the DSA side. An alternative approach to your problem consists in using the RFC4533 LDAP Sync to design a client that is persistently returned any change in data matching a search request, letting the client adapt the results into the desired form for the web page. The client could be easily embedded in a web server, e.g. using the scripting capabilities that most web servers have, or even coded using those scripting capabilities, provide they support the capability to implement the LDAP extensions used by RFC 4533.
Actually, even without RFC4533, all that's needed is to use slapo-accesslog and let the web server query the log DB whenever a user accesses the page. --
Along Pierangelo's answer, I'll note that Net::LDAPapi perl module can be an LDAP sync client, and thus used to drive any number of things based off changes made to an accesslog DB.
