Log Message: As an overlay, always return SLAP_CB_CONTINUE
Alternatively, we can use the actual return code from the external program, and document that those programs should return SLAP_CB_CONTINUE if they don't want to override the normal flow of processing. Thoughts?
I favor this second option: if one uses back-sock (back-perl) he needs to know what he's doing, so carefully reading the documentation is mandatory.
OK, will get to that shortly.
Also want to add some more config options: 1) select which operation types to trigger on 2) select whether to forward search entry responses 3) select whether to forward result messages at all
Probably tweak the protocol a bit more, just return a "CONTINUE" message instead of a "RESULT" message for SLAP_CB_CONTINUE.
The overlay may need to send a CLEANUP message if the request was forwarded but processing fell into the cleanup handlers instead of the response handlers.
For use as a simple trigger, probably the only thing that's needed is a hook in the response handler that forwards a single message containing the original request parameters and its result code, rather than sending the request as-is, and then the result in a separate message.
p.
We could write a similar wrapper for back-perl, but a few other loose ends need to be addressed there still. First, this business of arbitrary junk in slapd.conf being fed into the perl module - I suggest this be replaced by an actual "perlconfig" directive whose arguments are passed on. Then we can convert all of that to cn=config without any further mess.
