This also brings me to another topic - adopting features from OpenDS... They expose a cn=Tasks tree which can be used for submitting tasks via LDAP. Currently we expose our runqueue under cn=Monitor but that's only read-only. It would be nice to be able to submit/schedule/trigger tasks on the fly... In particular, it would be nice to have a defined task for triggering a syncrepl refresh.
Yupp. That would be nice. May I propose to use another DN for this backend?
In web2ldap you can configure many templates and other stuff for a given name space (besides other configuration granularity). E.g. if this would be "cn=OpenLDAP Tasks" I could ship a better default config in web2ldap's source configuration.
See http://www.web2ldap.de/web2ldapcnf_hosts.html#cascaded_config
BTW: Same for cn=config. If it would be "cn=OpenLDAP Config" I could ship with a better default configuration. By now I only have commented examples. Maybe in 2.5?
Ciao, Michael.
