Hey folks,
In the search callback, I need to check whether an entry exists, and if not, create it based on an another entry used as template (duplicating also eventual tree elements below it, if they exist).
For example, if cn=a,cn=TESTVAL1,ou=group,dc,dc doesn't exist, it should be created from cn=a,cn=TEMPLATE,ou=group,dc,dc.
The created entry (and the eventual subtree) should not persist and should be dropped after the operation finishes.
Questions:
1) What's an elegant way to duplicate an entry in this way where an exact copy should be made, just with a different DN?
2) Since the entry creation is done in search callback, it can't be just "slipped in" like it would be possible in response callback alone, so how do I mark the created entry for removal when the operation is done?
Can this be scheduled automatically with entry flags (like REP_ENTRY_MUSTBEFREED), or there would have to be a manual mechanism for deleting entries in response callback?
Thanks, -doc
