hi,

is it possible with openldap to trigger an action (like a shell
script) after a succesfull ldapadd or ldapmodify operation. I was
looking for an overlay that does the job but i didn't find it.  any
help will be appreciated.

Just use the accesslog overlay, and configure it to log to a back-perl instance. (You could use back-shell too I suppose, but that's not really a good idea.) back-sock would also be a safe choice.

You could use a perl script based off of Net::LDAPapi as a delta-syncrepl
client listening to an accesslog DB.


That's a few moving parts more than necessary...
