Description tedcheng@symas.com 2012-12-17 22:24:20 UTC
Full_Name: Ted C. Cheng
Version: trunk
OS: Linux
URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/
Submission from: (NULL) (76.174.253.197)


Document enhancement request:

Dynamic lists/groups do not involve group entry modification. As a result, they
cannot be used with the memberof overlay.

It would be great to document explicitly, man pages and admin guide, that
dynamic lists/groups overlays and memberof overlay are mutually exclusive.

Would the above text, in one single paragraph, be good enough for the documentation?

dynlist should be used instead of memberOf, regardless.

see ITS#8613
