[webmin-devel] LDAP Groups and RFC2307BIS

Hi,
I have recently had to reconfigure my OpenLDAP server to use RFC2307bis
groups, rather than the more usual RFC2307. A lot of admins are finding
the need to do this, mainly to get a working memberOf attribute for use
with many popular applications such as owncloud that are too dim to make
separate group and user lookups. The main difference between 2307 and
2307bis is that the members of a group are store in 'member' or
'uniqueMember' attributes, not 'memberUid', and they are DNs not just
uids . Unfortunately, the webmin LDAP users and groups module does not
appear to cope with this. I have stuck my nose into the code and indeed,
the attribute name appears to be hard coded and is uid only. Has anyone
done any work on this? I could try knocking together a patch, but I am
not a perl coder, so the learning curve would be steep.
Thanks in advance
Stephen Parry
