Hello
I am working on a overlay (the same as last time with the internal search question) that produce dynamic values depending on multiple attributes.
The model was slapo-dynlist. I added an on_response method and I was able to produce everything needed when handling a search request. That works like a charm.
But now I would like to use the generated values in a filter when searching. In some cases, I can modify the filter on the fly in bi_op_search so that it works, but that is not always possible.
I thought of two alterantives:
1) In supann_op_add and supann_op_modify, perform an internal modify operation, so that the generated values are actualy added to the entry. But There is a problem: I exit that two methods without knowing if the add or modify operation succeded or not. The dynamic values should not be added if the add/modify operation failed.
2) I could steal some ideas from slapo-dds to update entries in the whole directory on a regular basis. That seems to do a lot of useless activity, and changes will always lag a bit. For now it seems to be the best option.
Is there another was of doing it?
