Hi,

This is to announce a proxy cache extension for OpenLDAP2.1.4. The
submission can be viewed at:

http://www.OpenLDAP.org/its/index.cgi?findid=2062

The tar-ball containing a patch/docs can be obtained from:

ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/apurva-kumar-pkg-020903.tgz

The tarball contains the following:
1) proxy_cache_patch_2.1.4 (Proxy cache patch for 2.1.4)
2) usage.ps: User manual with example slapd.conf
3) ldapcache.ps: Design and implementation details.
4) README
5) INSTALL
6) COPYRIGHT


Semantic information is used to determine if an incoming query is contained
(i.e. is narrower or more restrictive) in any of the stored queries.

The query containment algorithm works for positive conjunctive queries with
equality, range (>= and <=) and substring assertions. Details about design,
implementation and usage are provided in the docs usage.ps and
ldapcache.ps.

The patch modifies the LDAP backend functionality and extends LDBM backend
for caching.

Please let me know your comments.

Thanks
