Hi all,

Apologies for digging up the past, but I asked about this in July last
year....


See ITS#5074, this was added to RE24 a couple weeks after the below post.

However, there's one bit that I can't get working - is there any way
to define a template that will match a search which doesn't provide an
attr list?
No. That is not possible.

Are there any plans on introducing such a feature, or technical
reasons why it can't be done?  On a typical machine on which I'm
running slapo-pcache, I get about 70-80% of queries answered from the
cache - this would be 90%+ if queries that didn't specify attr lists
(i.e. gets all user attributes) could also be cached.

I'm not saying that I should be able to specify an emptry attr list
with proxyattrset - that probably wouldn't make a lot of sense, but
being able to set it to all the user attributes returned for a
particular query that doesn't specify which attrs it wants would be
very useful.
