Because it relies on a user having multiple memberof attributes to
describe their group membership. This is OK if thats how you do group
membersip, but I already protect various bits of the directory using
OpenLDAP's group scheme - a seperate group object that contains multiple
member attributes, each being the DN of the 'subscriber'. I don't want
to support multiple group schemes if I can at all avoid it.
I hope I didn't come off sounding like a jerk. I really don't mind doing
the work. It'd be twice as nice if others were interested, but if not
thats ok too ;-) I'd just like to see the API docs, or at least some
notes, if they exist. This is one of the major things that I really
wanted to see in Cyrus (external authorization). I'm excited!
