[ldapext] need of dynamic attributes

[christine.yoon@us.pwcglobal.com]

When a user account in a directory has expirationdate attribute,
a today's ldap application needs to write a code to check the user's expirationdate against the system's today's date
to validate if the account is valid.

If a dynamic attribute such as todaysdate is defined as a part of ldap schema and 
the value of the attribute is the ldap server system's date, the application may simply configure a ldap filter something like
    (&(ou=useraccount)(todaysdate()<expirationdate)

Dynamic attributes can be quite useful, which requires such attributes and
search filter using dynamic attributes to be defined.

I wonder if work on dynamic attributes is within ldapext scope.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
