#1375 Extend support for ghost users in memberof plugin
Closed: Invalid None Opened 11 years ago by jzeleny.

Right now a large portion of ghost functionality is handled by LDAP provider. See following commit:

e331954

For ghost users to be properly distributed in the group hierarchy in cache, it is necessary to store them before any membership is created.

The goal of this task is to handle a scenario where new ghost users are added to an existing hierarchy. This will require changes in modify operation in memberof plugin:

If new ghost is added, scan the group tree recursively for parents and add the ghost to all parents as well as to the original group containing the ghost. Theoretically the simplest approach is to take contents of memberof attribute and for each record in there just schedule memberuid-adding operation for that ghost user.
