hello,
I may have a need soon to implement "computed" attributes in LDAP, to accommodate dumb clients that are unable to properly update the database
for example, an attribute masterAttr may have values like "A:B" (its value updated by the dumb client), but other clients need the A or B part separately. So whenever masterAttr is updated with value "A:B", firstPartAttr have to be updated with "A" and secondPartAttr with "B"
what are my options to achieve this? - is there an overlay like slapo-rwm but for attribute values? I searched but did not found anything. So I guess the answer is no. - using a combination of back-perl, back-relay and slapo-translucent? is that even possible - using back-sock as an overlay to monitor modifications and update the modified objects accordingly? - a script that monitor the accesslog database and update the modified objects accordingly? - biting the bullet and writing an overlay myself?
before diving too deep into this issue (and possibly drowning), I figured I would ask. any thoughts? ideas?
thanks in advance, best regards, Jephté CLAIN
