Hi,
I'm looking at developing a simple internal app that is supposed to do things based on changes to our directory. One solution would be to periodically poll the directory. A seemingly better solution would be to have some client watch for changes using the refreshAndPersist mode of syncrepl.
Does anyone know of any example code that connects to the directory as a syncrepl consumer? Python examples would be preferred.
Thanks,
Allan.

There was somebody working on a Python-based syncrepl client but not in refreshAndPersist mode. You may want to dig python-ldap-dev's mailing list archive and come over there.
You could also deploy slapo-accesslog and watch out for recent changes there by polling the accesslog database in small time intervals.
Ciao, Michael.

Thanks for the pointer. I'll see what I can find.

This actually might be the best solution. I need to know what changed and when it changed, but I don't necessarily need it to be real-time. Being able to batch up bursts of changes might also be beneficial.
Each possibility has its own strengths and weaknesses that I can see.
Thanks for your help,
Allan.
