RE: Beginner projects

Hi Quanah,

I started trying to integrate the Heimdal ASN.1 compiler with OpenLDAP and then noticed that the compiler does not support the ASN.1 GSER or BER encoding rules. Presumably it could be made to support these rules but this would be some work.
Another option would be to use the continuation of the eSNACC compiler which can be found at https://github.com/esnacc/esnacc-ng.

Sure, no worries. :)

My reading of it is indeed, the idea is to completely remove the existing
ASN.1 compiler, and to pull in the one from Heimdal instead.

The code in question is located at contrib/slapd-modules/comp_match.  I imagine you could store the Heimdal ASN.1 compiler in a subdirectory there, similar to how nss-pam-ldapd is available in contrib/slapd-modules/nssov/nss-pam-ldapd.

Regards,
Quanah
