LDAP search scope directive?

[Martin Pauly <pauly@hrz.uni-marburg.de>]

Hi,

my current problem has already been discussed on this list --
here's a snippet from Nov 2004:

Due to a reorganization of our LDAP tree, we will need to duplicate our 
15.000+ account entries in a new, separate subtree, located below the 
old one. During migration (which will hopefully run overnight, but 
certainly take severeal hours), services should be kept running as good 
as possible. So I'm going to face exactly the situation described above. 
To make the LDAP search result unique, 
> ldap ldap1{
>         basedn = "o=acme"
>         scope = "one"
would do the job for me. Has such a directive been implemented?

Thanks, Martin
