Isn't there a "not" missing in the last sentence ?

Yes, should read "But it does not apply".

Thinking about the empty-groupOfNames-problem some more I consider to define a
cn=dummy value to be always present in groupOfNames entries and apply
val-based ACLs to make it invisible and unremovable for normal clients (even
the ones maintaining the groups).

Yep, I thought about some trick like this. I thought also about the
modification of the groupOfNames objectClass but this one does not have the
preference of my manager :)

Yes, mucking around with standard schema descriptions is not the right way.

You could use groupOfEntries which was exactly defined for that purpose:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-findlay-ldap-groupofentries

I was not aware of this one, yet I searched for alternatives. Thanks.


I have to find now how to add automaticcally a user to a group. ;)

Whatever "automatically" means in your context...

I meant that at the creation of a groupOfNames, the placeholder would be added without user interevention. With groupOfEntries, there is no need anymore for that but for my knowledge, it will be interesting.


Ciao, Michael.
