The filters are built from +LDAP URI-valued attributes. Any time an object is added/deleted/updated, it is +tested for compliance with the filters, and its membership is accordingly +updated. For searches and compares, it behaves like a static group. +If the attribute part of the URI is filled, the group entry is populated by +the values of this attribute in the entries resulting from the search. +.SH CONFIGURATION +Either +.BR \FCslapd.conf\FT (5) +or the \FCcn=config\FT methodology of +.BR \FCslapd-config\FT (5) +may be used for configuring autogroup. Both syntaxes are provided +here for convenience: +.TP +.B \FCautogroup-attrset\FT <group-oc> <URL-ad> <member-ad> +.TP +.B \FColcAGattrSet:\FT <group-oc> <URL-ad> <member-ad> +This defines the objectclass-attribute-URI mappings defining the +automatically managed groups, and may appear multiple times. + +The value <group-oc> is the name of the objectClass that represents +the group. + +The value <URL-ad> is the name of the attributeDescription that +contains the URI that is converted to the filters. If no URI is +present, there will be no members in that group. It must be a subtype +of labeledURI. + +The value <member-ad> is the name of the attributeDescription that +specifies the member attribute. User modification of this attribute is +disabled for consistency. +.TP +.B \FCautogroup-memberof-ad\FT <memberof-ad> +.TP +.B \FColcAGmemberOfAd\FT <memberof-ad> +This defines the attribute that is used by the memberOf overlay to +store the names of groups that an entry is member of; it must be +DN-valued. It should be set to the same value as +memberof-memberof-ad. It defaults to 'memberOf'. +.SH EXAMPLES +As above in SYNOPSIS, or with memberof: + + ... + \FCinclude ETCDIR/schema/dyngroup.schema\FT + \FCinclude ETCDIR/schema/memberof.schema\FT + ... + \FCmoduleload autogroup.so\FT + \FCmoduleload memberof.so\FT + ... + \FCdatabase\FT ... + ... + \FCoverlay memberof\FT + \FCmemberof-memberof-ad\FT foo + ... + \FCoverlay autogroup\FT + \FCautogroup-attrset groupOfURLs memberURL member\FT + \FCautogroup-memberof-ad\FT foo +.SH CAVEATS +As with static groups, update operations on groups with a large number +of members may be slow. If the attribute part of the URI is specified, +modify and delete operations are more difficult to handle. In these +cases the overlay will try to detect if groups have been modified and +then simply refresh them. This can cause performance hits if the +search specified by the URI deals with a significant number of +entries. +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +This module was originally written in 2007 by Michał +Szulczyński.
