Re: slapd new backend

<quote who="Malcolm Cowen">

Hi, I've charged with designing a new backend to slapd for a client, and this is the first time I've worked on OpenLDAP.

My first question is why a new backend? What are you/they trying to do? Why are you doing it if you've never seen OpenLDAP code before is another one ;-)

I've got the API documentation, and the setup type documentation from the website. None of that covers the backends much however, so I'm currently going through the various call hooks provided by the system using debug to see what is going on.

Is there any other documentation/information that would be relevant that I should know about?
