I am not familiar with kqueue.

Is Howard suggesting that we rip the ASN.1 compiler out of Heimdal and integrate it with Openldap? Would we want to put it in a separate git repository?

Thanks, Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Good to hear from you! Howard recently posted the following as a project that could be useful to pursue:

http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/201711/msg00002.html

If you're familiar with kqueue, there's some work there necessary to finalize support as well. I can provide more details if that's of interest.

I imagine Howard would likely have some additional ideas. ;)

Regards, Quanah

Hi,

Me and one of my colleagues are interested in contributing to OpenLDAP. Do you have any interesting projects that new comers such as myself could work on?

With best regards, Dr Andrew Lawrence

Hi Quanah,

I started trying to integrate the Heimdal ASN.1 compiler with OpenLDAP and then noticed that the compiler does not support the ASN.1 GSER or BER encoding rules. Presumably it could be made to support these rules but this would be some work. Another option would be to use the continuation of the eSNACC compiler which can be found at https://github.com/esnacc/esnacc-ng.

Sure, no worries. :)

My reading of it is indeed, the idea is to completely remove the existing ASN.1 compiler, and to pull in the one from Heimdal instead.

The code in question is located at contrib/slapd-modules/comp_match. I imagine you could store the Heimdal ASN.1 compiler in a subdirectory there, similar to how nss-pam-ldapd is available in contrib/slapd-modules/nssov/nss-pam-ldapd.

Regards, Quanah
