RE: Greatest value

Hi Matthew,

The function you are asking for is a characteristic of Connexitor's UNIX
authorization agent. If you are interested in a directory-based
authentication management system that won't have your pager going off at all
hours, give Connexitor a try.

Sincerely,

Subject: Greatest value


This might be off topic, and if it is, I'd be happy to repost in the proper
list.

Is there a way to search the directory for a maximum value?

Example:

	My LDAP stores UIDnumbers for users on the UNIX systems we administer.  To
create a new user, I need the next available UID (which is the highest UID +
1).

In a standard sql database, I could just set this value as a key and have it
auto-increment with each new record.  Is there a similar feature in LDAP, or
a search filter that will give me the greatest value of an attribute?


Thank you for any support. And again, I will be happy to repost in an
appropriate place.
