It would be very nice if back-sock configured as overlay could make use of
modified parameters returned with CONTINUE.

Example for an incoming search request:

SEARCH
msgid: 42
suffix: dc=example,dc=com
base: dc=example,dc=com
scope: 2
[..]
filter: (objectClass=*)
[..]

The external listener could return:

CONTINUE
msgid: 42
suffix: dc=example,dc=com
base: ou=test,dc=example,dc=com
scope: 1
[..]
filter: (objectClass=account)
[..]

This would make request rewriting possible without having to use slapo-rwm.

To clarify: The listener would only return the parameters with CONTINUE which
it wants to modify.
Comment 2 Michael Ströder 2015-06-14 11:11:21 UTC 
Another important use-case is rewriting the bind-DN of a simple bind request
without using slapo-rwm (because slapo-rwm often seg faults).
