The language in the ticket description's pretty firm that this isn't
going to be changed, and while I can _probably_ work around it on my
end, I figured I'd ask here before going down that route:  is there room
to expand this check to a whitelist, a search path, or some other method
that could be used to provide for my use case?
Sure.  Please file a ticket.  We can figure out some way to hack
this for testing.  What would you suggest?
Great!  I've opened ticket #47601 for this, and we can continue there if
you like.
Yes.
In case there's more to discuss on the list, here are the
options that come to mind:
* When checking a modify request, only check the nsslapd-pluginPath
   value if it shows up in the mods list.
* Add a run-time-configurable whitelist of acceptable locations.
* Replace the check with logic to go ahead and try loading the module,
   unloading it if the load succeeds.

I haven't tried any of these, but I think any of them would be enough.

Thanks,

Nalin
