Issue ID: 9506
           Summary: dynlist: member expansion when member attribute not
                    requested
           Product: OpenLDAP
           Version: 2.5
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: ---
         Component: overlays
          Assignee: bugs@openldap.org
          Reporter: quanah@openldap.org
  Target Milestone: ---
When configured to do dynamic "member" expansion, i.e.:
overlay dynlist
dynlist-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL member
Any query against an object that would trigger this expansion will incur a
penalty while dynlist does the expansion work even if there was no request for
the member attribute.
Currently that can be worked around by specifying the manageDSAit control when
doing a search on the object, but this may not be feasible for some client
applications and additionally other directory servers do not do this expansion
for their dynamic group implementations unless the underlying configured
attribute is explicitly requested.
We've already implemented this in dynlist for the memberOfAD case, we should do
it here as well.
