Usage

Overview

This overlay implements the draft Dereference control. The overlay can be used with any backend or globally for all backends.

Examples

  database mdb
  ...
  overlay deref

Given these entries:

  dn: cn=Howard Chu,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
  objectClass: inetOrgPerson
  cn: Howard Chu
  sn: Chu
  uid: hyc
  dn: cn=Pierangelo Masarati,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
  objectClass: inetOrgPerson
  cn: Pierangelo Masarati
  sn: Masarati
  uid: ando
  dn: cn=Test Group,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=org
  objectClass: groupOfNames
  cn: Test Group
  member: cn=Howard Chu,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
  member: cn=Pierangelo Masarati,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org

A search could be performed with a Dereference request control value specified as

  { member, uid }

I.e.,

  ldapsearch -x -b dc=example,dc=org -E 'deref=member:uid'

and the "cn=Test Group" entry would be returned with the response control value

  { { member, cn=Howard Chu,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org,
      { { uid, [hyc] } } },
    { member, cn=Pierangelo Masarati,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org,
      { { uid, [ando] } } } }
