This would be great If it were based on SCIM (https://www.simplecloud.info/ ) and then expanded for operations that aren't user specific.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [OldapWS] -> Proposal of a REST Web Service for CRUD Operations Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2022 13:21:10 +0200 From: Olivier CHATOR olivier.chator15@gmail.com To: openldap-devel@openldap.org
Dear all,
I am a "long time user" of OpenLDAP core parts. If the core is very stable, I often received some request from application developers, complaining about the lack of REST Web Service API to manipulate their Directory objects.
Of course, as far as I could see, there is commercial solution available to do this, or even a project using Spring. But I could not see a simple proposal based on a simple Apache Server and "fully free" of rights.
I also saw (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.openldap.org/devel/contributing.html... ) that "The OpenLDAP Project welcomes contributions of independently-developed stand-alone LDAP-related software packages suitable for distribution separately from existing packages (e.g., OpenLDAP Software, JLDAP, JDBC-LDAP)".
Then, I would like to propose a full Open Source first realease of a CRUD REST Web Service to manipulate OpenLDAP's Directory Objects.
I know that this first release is very limited in term of features, but I think it does the "core job", and may be a common base to be enriched to build a real OpenLDAP REST API ? Package available here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1s4zlTleJ...
Thanks for your time reading this proposal, do not hesitate to ask if you have any question. Kind regards, Olivier Chator
