RE: Dynamic Groups

["Saini, Dharmender" <DSaini@eclipsenetworks.com>]

By dynamic group I meant using a netscape kind of 
dynamic group.
Instead of using 
member: persondn

It allows a member query url such as

memberQueryURL: ldap:///o=myorg??sub?cn=*

It means all the search results of above query will be treated
as members of the group. This feature is available in netscape
directory server and novel.

I guess you mean groups that are specified with a 

memberof: groupname 

attribute on the member itself instead of a groupofuniquenames entry
with a multivalue 

member: persondn

?

OpenLDAP doesn't support using these in aci's, but otherwise you can use
them as much as you need. 

I'm not shure how hard it would be to add support for such groups, you
can take a look at the source code.
