Hi Dieter,

Is your script publicly available, by any chance? Thanks.

I am thinking along the lines of OpenLDAP calling some external

that I am missing,  I am all ears. I have looked at the various
overlays but none seem relevant.

Has anyone done this or have general suggestions?


Based on perldoc Net::LDAP::Control::SyncRequest i built a script that
monitors modifications to the database.

If you want GCDS to receive every change, just set up a syncrepl consumer on a 
back-ldap backend, pointed to GCDS.

Use your own custom syncrepl client that "listens" for changes and executes 
whatever action anytime a relevant change is made.
