Hi

I have googled and read over slapo-rwm man page, some great examples there BUT I cant seem too grasp the rewrite rule.

Basically I have merged a couple of individual openldap directories under a meta database which works fine. Some of the individual directories have clashing posix uidnumber attributes ie

uid=joe,dc=subdomain1,dc=test uidnumber: 1023

uid=soap,dc=subdomain2,dc=test uidnumber: 1023

uid=user2,dc=sudomain2,dc=test uidnumber: 1024

what I am trying too do is create a rwm overlay that would rewrite the uidnumber attribute for subdomain2 so add a 10 in front of each uidnumber for each user in the subdomain database. ie

uid=soap,dc=subdomain2,dc=test uidnumber: 101023

uid=user2,dc=sudomain2,dc=test uidnumber: 101024

slapo-rwm(5) by design can only muck with DN-valued attributes, for the purpose of creating virtual views of existing data. It cannot modify the contents of other attributes. For this purpose you probably need to write some specific piece of code.
