Hello,
exists a OpenLDAP API Documentation to develop a Overlay (like smbk5pwd)?
We just started to explore the source-code (smbk5pwd.c), but we noticed that the struct's and function syntax aren't easy to unterstand - We need a description. Like the smbk5pwd module, we want to develop a analog module for Asterisk.

You do have to get into knowing the structures and functions, there's no way around it, and you'll most likely do it by reading source code.
A good thing to know is that all files (except one include file) are somewhere in servers/slapd/, and grouped into sistematically named source files.
I.e. all functions related to DNs are in dn.c, functions related to entries in entry.c, to attributes in attr.c and so on.
Take time to read them.
More or less good existing overlays to start with and get the grip are collect, dynlist, dyngroup and addpartial. (addpartial in contrib/).
You can also take a look at my default values overlay which is heavily commented to help newcomers. It also includes a patch you can imitate to integrate the overlay into the build system properly. (The stuff in contrib/ - such as smbk5pwd - does not have usable Makefiles).

Stuff such as smbk5pwd relies on features that aren't detected in the main configure script. Nor is there any desire to add those tests to the configure script, since contrib modules are not officially maintained by the Project. As such, the provided Makefiles are a guideline and you are expected to customize them for your situation by hand if you want to use them.
