dirsrv-abbra-0001-Support-excluding-subtrees-in-uniqueness-plugin.patch

Attached is the first cut to add exclude subtrees.

Hello Alexander,

The fix looks good.
Just a remark in search_one_berval. I think that if one of the retrieved entry is part of an excluded subtree, it should rather continue to test the others entries than report LDAP_SUCCESS.

thanks
thierry

It does continue to the other entries, it only skips this entry because of the excluded match. This is a nested loop and a break within the nested one only brings you to the outer loop, not out of it.

Alexander, you are right, no concern regarding search_one_berval.
thanks

Hi Alexander,

I'm afraid uid.c had been modified and your patch fails to apply by "git am". Could it be possible to rebase with master on your checked out branch and recreate a patch? If you have the right to push the patch, please go ahead and do so. If not, we will do it.
Thanks!!
