Hello,

Just for information, I’ve found the mechanism in OpenLDAP allowing integrators to do stupid things: overlays.

Apple has created a customer overlay for their own services and has recently added hardcoded value for specific request with specific attributes.

http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/OpenLDAP/OpenLDAP-499.27/OpenLDAP/ser...

I didn’t know that overlay was able to have deep control like that over LDAP request.

I can’t thanks you for this end since no one has ever mentioned that OpenLDAP has official hooking API on LDAP request but here is the solution for my problem and now I know how to fix it by my own, without waiting for a fix from Apple, just patching slapd, changing a condition in odusers_search function.

Best regards, Yoann

Excellent Yoann! Thank you for passing that information back. It could help future users of the Apple version of OpenLDAP.

Best Regards,

It was my understanding that you can basically do anything with a LDAP request in the context of an overlay.
