This was actually the first idea we thought of, we concluded that it
would slow the search down, because then the algorithmic complexity of
the search would be O(n), with n as the number of dynamic groups. We
think this would be somewhat against the idea of LDAP directories, where
the number of search operations far outweigh the number of updates. It
is a trade-off between update speed and search speed, but we think that
the search speed is essential, and the update operations are not our
primary concern speed-wise.

Something like
constraint-reference attr1 attr2
might be better.
For simple directives, it's better to use positional parameters and no tag words.

Trouble with Bind/overlays/callbacks
by Howard Chu
In slapd just about all of the operation handlers send their results from the
backend directly to the client. The notable exception is for the Bind
operation, which sends failures directly to the client, but has to return
successes to the frontend to allow final processing to occur there. This
difference causes a fair bit of complexity when writing Bind handlers in
backends and overlays.
In 2.3 we ran into other sequencing issues that could only be solved by moving
some of the Bind cleanup into a callback (connection_bind_cb). We have an
opportunity now to move all of the postprocessing into that callback, allowing
us to remove all special case handling of Binds in the backends and overlays.
Of course, making this change will touch every backend that handles Bind
operations. It may impact overlays that intercept Binds as well.
In particular, overlays that insert response callbacks on Bind operations can
potentially break in the current code. I.e., if an overlay inserts a callback
at the head of the stack (instead of at the end) then currently it will simply
not get called in the case of a successful Bind, because the overlay framework
tears down the callback stack before it returns to the frontend. If the
callback was inserted using malloc'd memory then it will cause a memory leak
as well.
I plan to file an ITS on this for RE24, not sure how soon I'll get to the
actual changes though.

The new behavior should be the only documented one. It allows to get
rid of the long-lasting, quite annoying "tabs-separated URI list" issue.
The old syntax is fully recognized, but it should just be forgotten.

Fast Bind
by Gavin Henry
In our docs, should we use the term "Fast Bind", i.e. when a client
supplies a full DN and also a password, or is it misleading?
I've seen this referenced in other documentation and Cyrus SASL.

I've moved the tag for OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_4_5BETA to this version.
