cn=config

Hi,
I'm modifying an overlay for proper cn=config behaviour and have come
across some things I'm not sure about.
The overlay keeps a mapping derived from entries under its config entry,
if the overlay's dn is "olcoverlay={1}bla, olcdatabase={2}null,
cn=config" there are entries like:
"olcMappingRuleName={x}, olcoverlay={1}bla, olcdatabase={2}null, cn=config"
The rules are then stored in an avl in the overlay's info struct.
However to maintain the avl I think I need to know the boundaries of the
request. When adding the entry online, it is easy, one registers the
cleanup callback. When processing the entry during startup, the only way
to have the callback run is mucking with ConfigArgs' lineno variable.
However a modify operation is harder. It can transform the entry in
almost whatever way it pleases. Updating the entry in the avl each time
a subpart of the modify is sent to a ConfigDriver makes providing the
atomicity required by LDAP very hard. For instance, the mapping defined
by the entry may at one time be equal to another one in the avl. At that
time, the overlay does not know, whether this is supposed to be the
final version or there is a part of the modify that makes it a distinct
one again. Hopefully this paragraph makes sense.
If there is no such way, I propose that the cleanup be aplicable to a
modify operation too. No patches so far though.

What does "released support" really mean?
$ grep -i relax openldap-2.4.26/include/ldap.h
#define LDAP_CONTROL_RELAX "1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.5.12"
#define LDAP_CONTROL_MANAGEDIT LDAP_CONTROL_RELAX
"No released software should use an OID under this arc."
See http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/200.html
I'd really love to see an officially assigned OID (especially given the fact
that web2ldap supports it).
Ciao, Michael.
