We would instead use the SASL mapping functionality to map the subjectDN in the cert to a DN that the DS knows about. The SASL mapping code is much more powerful and flexible than the certmap.conf code.Would like to see additional monitoring flexibility for snmp - when configuring multiple ds instances with same port on single multihomed host monitoring information is agregated by port in the monitoring not by instance and port. Please provide more information on deprecation of certmap.conf.

I'm not sure I understand - do you want the ability to do cert auth without having to have a real entry in the directory server that corresponds to the subjectDN?Need flexibility to not rely on dn in cert mapping to anything in directory and rely on successful tls mutual authentication and truststore configuration.
Script to provide index analysis based on data in the directory to provide the following info: Search performance efficiency of index and index type based on return limits, and scanidslistlimit. Compressed ldif(gzip) capability for export, import, and initialization usage.
Ok - Thanks - this is all good stuff.

There is a comment about some additional useful features it in th README file of this plug-in :I'm calling this feature "Configuration replication" - I think it could be useful for other sorts of configuration.We need to worry about account expiration or lockout e.g. the user's credentials are valid but the user has been locked out of his/her account, or the password has expired, or something like that. Some of this can be handled by LDAP e.g. returning password policy control values when the password has expired.* a way to synchronise the configuration of indexes (each time we add an index on one of the replicated servers we need to make it manually on all the others) and some other parameters in "cn=config" between the replicated servers (a little like the "configuration" partition in active directory), the schema changes are already replicated which is very good* enforced attribute syntax validationAlready on the list - Syntax validation checking* re-verify and validate conformance of the syntaxes, case sensitivity and their matching rules to RFC (https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-directory-users/2008-July/msg00041.html)Already on the list* unix socket autobind still does not seem to work (ldapi) - https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-directory-users/2009-February/msg00112.html. It could be very useful for various maintenance scripts running on the server.We tested this with 1.2.0 and it seems to work. You tested a build from source? Did you use --enable-autobind with configure? Did you restart the server after configuring your autobind and sasl mapping?* verification of the server from the viewpoint of memory leaks. Th size of the memory used by the server grows with time (normally we don't restart the sevrr during several months, so i can follow the stats)We regularly run the server test suite with valgrind enabled. I'm not aware of any per connection or per operation leaks. What exactly are you seeing?* logconv.pl - very useful script, add some more options/ adjustments (for example, a switch to hide unindexed searches in verbose mode). We use it as logwatch.What sort of information are you looking for? ldapsearch can provide most of the useful information.* a perl script to show the replication statistics (there is one for the we page generation statistics, something more basic, text-only would be very welcome) in text mode - to receiveth reports by mail once per day like logwatch for example* regular expressions in ACIs (i know, it is very difficult to do, so maybe somewhere in the timescale of the version 10.0 ? :)) - for example, allow a user to add or modify a value just in case the new value mathes the regex. Or the group or dn of the user matches the regex...You can do some of that currently with targetattrfilters - see *http://tinyurl.com/3yo88rWe added support in 1.2.0 to allow you to specify group membership with LDAP search specifications, which does allow some wildcarding, so that might help too.** simplify the creation of new syntaxes and their validation/ enforcement (version 11.0? :))Can you elaborate?* virtual views allowing to map not only the trees but also the attributes ('cn' instead of 'uid' in a subtree, for example)Can you elaborate?* enable regex in certmap.conf for mapping the CNs of the certificates during the certificate authentification of usersThis is on the list asGet rid of certmap.conf - use SASL mapping (cert auth is really just SASL/EXTERNAL)The sasl mapping code uses regular expressionsOther than that i just want to emphasize the great job you are doing adding new features and especially the fantastic reactivity in fixing some critical server bugs (usually it takes only one or two days to have the necessary diff in bugzilla!)Thank you and please continue the development of this directory server!And thank you for your suggestions.Thanks - I've added these notes to http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Roadmap#Version_1.3 Anyone else? C'mon - surely you have an opinion about a new feature.
