Just for fun I was testing the perl backend for openldap.<br><br>I starting setting up an LDAP using the SampleLdap.pm perl library in the source code.<br><br>My goal is to setup a consumer LDAP in synch with other LDAP (bdb backend) for keeping the mod add del etc.  using the syncrepl mechanism.<br>
<br>I want to wrap every modification in the Master LDAP and triggering some perl script.<br><br>I&#39;m very new to this approach and the first problem I&#39;m facing is how to keep the last db state after a slapd crash or shutdown.<br>
<br>Using SamplLdap.pm init it&#39;s just a subroutine returning 0, so after the first sync if I shutdown the slapd next time I will need a full resync.<br><br>Do you know some other clever examples? I mean keeping the state of the LDAP and triggering, for example recording on files, the modifications on LDAP.<br>
<br>I tried to add in the subroutine some operation  on FILES (using standard open FILE....;print FILE &quot;operation&quot;; close (FILE)) it seems do not work.<br><br>Many thanks to all!<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Andrea Cirulli<br>
