Full_Name: Quanah Gibson-Mount Version: openldap-2.2.11 OS: Solaris 8 URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (171.66.182.82) In playing with slapcat, and using OpenLDAP as our production servers for the last year, I've found that it would be extremely useful to be able to slapcat the database while excluding a subtree. The reason for this is that we periodically regenerate one portion of our tree structure. Although we can specifically slapcat particular subtrees, I find it would be simpler to run slapcat to exclude the tree I don't want anymore from the output. So this is a simple enhancement request. ;)

I've added: entryDN operational attribute dnSubtree extensible matching rule slapcat -a filter which, in total, should be address this feature request. That is, slapcat -a (!(entryDN:dnSubtree:=ou=People,dc=example,dc=com)) should exclude entries in this subtree from the output.

rather see this genericized... return all entries matching a filter. Then maybe add some new matching rules to handle DN relations.
