NAME

       slapo-deref - Dereference Control overlay to slapd

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

       /etc/ldap/slapd.d

DESCRIPTION

       This  overlay  implements  the draft Dereference control. The overlay can be used with any
       backend or globally for all backends.

EXAMPLES

         database mdb
         ...
         overlay deref

       Given these entries:
         dn: cn=Howard Chu,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
         objectClass: inetOrgPerson
         cn: Howard Chu
         sn: Chu
         uid: hyc

         dn: cn=Pierangelo Masarati,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
         objectClass: inetOrgPerson
         cn: Pierangelo Masarati
         sn: Masarati
         uid: ando

         dn: cn=Test Group,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=org
         objectClass: groupOfNames
         cn: Test Group
         member: cn=Howard Chu,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
         member: cn=Pierangelo Masarati,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org

       A search could be performed with a Dereference request control value specified as

         { member, uid }

       I.e.,
         ldapsearch -x -b dc=example,dc=org -E 'deref=member:uid'

       and the "cn=Test Group" entry would be returned with the response control value
         { { member, cn=Howard Chu,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org,
             { { uid, [hyc] } } },
           { member, cn=Pierangelo Masarati,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org,
             { { uid, [ando] } } } }
