RE: expansion of groups/roles/subtree subjects in LDAP ACM



agreed, except that noting in the log system that the group/role/subtree
has not been fully expanded **may** give, in some cases, more information
than needed and be a start in compromising security.

Well as an initial (not perfect) suggestion I would opt for
notifying via the log system that the group/role/subtree
has not been fully expanded and that access has been denied
because the DN is not in the partial set.
