Issue ID: 9957
Summary: slapo-dynlist manpage needs better description of
dynlist-attrset
Product: OpenLDAP
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needs_review
Severity: normal
Priority: ---
Component: overlays
Assignee: b...@openldap.org
Reporter: on...@mistotebe.net
Target Milestone: ---
Each dynlist-attrset defines one of three distinct behaviours:
- dynamic list (attributes are gathered from other entries)
- dynamic group (DNs are gathered based on other entries)
- static group (DNs are gathered based on DNs stored on entries)
With the groups possibly being recursive, requiring traversal.
Since the above do not mix, the documentation should be more explicit about how
each one should look and behave. It should also be noted somewhere what happens
(or not) when multiple dynlist-attrset stanzas would apply to the same entry.
At that point, configuration code could also be made more strict to reject
configurations that satisfy the apparent dynlist-attrset syntax but do not
actually represent anything that fits just one of the above and is therefore
nonsensical (with parts of it apparently ignored at runtime). With nonsensical
configuration rejected, it would be possible to streamline internal dynlist
structures and make critical parts of the overlay code more readable.
