I've found Sun docs for doing this in a slapi plugin but not an openldap slapd plugin. Reason: Basically, I've been hacking on smbkrb5pwd.c and discovered if I do a "return 0;" at the end, I can prevent chaining (not documented but found some openldap hacking - denyop.c - that demonstrated this).Documented. slapd/overlays/slapover.txt. You should not be attempting to write code here without having actually read what's in front of you. If your first instinct is *not* naturally to read the source tree, your programming habits need sharpening.
Hi Howard,Nope - had not noticed that - which is ironic as I've just been in that directory running grep over at the .c files ;-|
Yeah - I'm not really a programmer (except in perl) , I'm properly a sysadmin who very occasionally dabbles - and the openldap tree is not small, so I can be forgiven for not reading all of it ;-> Anyway, have to start somewhere!
And yes - I just found the bit in the txt file that says about calling frontend functions - also nice to have some confirmation about the return values of overlays.
I'll see if I can figure it out now based on a thorough reading of the document.
Cheers - and thanks for the pointer. Tim -- Tim Watts Personal Blog: http://squiddy.blog.dionic.net/ http://www.sensorly.com/ Crowd mapping of 2G/3G/4G mobile signal coverage
