I found a behaviour issue with the dynlist overlay configuration:

I tried the following configuration:

overlay dynlist dynlist-attrset posixGroup memberURL dynlist-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL owner

The reason of that check is that the same attribute "memberURL" could otherwise be used by both group classes to expand.

[...]

However, I believe something like

dynlist-attrset posixGroup memberURL dynlist-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL

should still be forbiden, otherwise the same "memberURL" would expand twice. This, strictly speaking, is not an issue, as duplicates would simply be discarded, but it would cause unnecessary overhead. Right now, I have decided to turn this check into a config-time warning.

Hmm - I object.

posixGroup and groupOfURLs are both "structural" objectclasses so an entry is either a "groupofURL" or a "posixGroup", never both. And in this case the memberURL can have different meanings according to the Objectclass it is used in.

Otherwise I'd have to create an Attribute for every expansion I want to use - that can't be right!

You are right for expansions in auxillary OCs, of course! They shouldn't be using the same attribute...

Please test and report.

Will do, sometime soon.
