A client application can set 'entryUUID' by sending the relax rules control along with the add/modify request.
This is good to know. I wasn't aware such a control existed.
I used this in a migration project deriving OpenLDAP's entryUUID from Novell eDirectory's GUID.
Aside: those and AD's objectGUID have the same semantics, yes? (I'd be floored if they didn't.)
Of course the client app is then responsible for generating proper UUIDs. With random UUIDs you might run out of entropy depending on how many you have to generated within a certain time.
Not too concerned about volume. I ended up writing an overlay anyway which seems to work fine. I'll be sending a patch once I tidy up the makefiles etc.
Thanks for the insight,
