Hi,
I'm trying to build a ldap query with the current date or the current timestamp (something like myAttributeDate >= now()). All solutions I've found on Internet require to compute the current date in a script and then build the ldap query with the computed date.
Unfortunately, I can't do this because the ldap query will be in a static file: ldap_filter in /etc/saslauthd.conf.
Is it possible with OpenLDAP to use the current date or timestamp in a ldap query without compute it in a script?
Thanks.

I vaguely remember that Daniel Pluta contributed patches for his I-D.

Maybe you should dig in the ITS.
Ciao, Michael.

Michael, thank you for the link. That sounds very interesting, I'll take a look.
Hi!
I guess the LDAP standard doesn't have a syntax for the current time. So the solution could be that openLDAP provides a pseudo attribute "somewhere". But still I don't know how to relate a time attribute "somewhere" with another entry's attributes. Computing the literal "time now" seems the cleanest solution IMHO.
Regards, Ulrich
