memberOf attribute and plugin behaviour between sub-suffixes.

Is the memberOf attribute handling by the memberOf plugin limited

If it's not planned as such* please doublecheck this behaviour
within the following scenario:



- suffix dc=directory,dc=org

- subsuffix ou=users,dc=directory,dc=org

- subsuffix ou=testing,ou=users,dc=directory,dc=org



We have then three databases. They're not replicated. The membefOf
plugin works only with elements (users and groups) that belong to
the same subsuffix.* But not between different subsuffixes. As
such, if you make a user of ou=testing... member of a group of
ou=users then the plugin will not populate the memberOf attribute
for that user.



The same here:

- subsuffix ou=users,dc=example,dc=com

- subsuffix ou=grupos,dc=example,dc=com



Here the plugin wont work either.* If you make a user inside
ou=users member of a group inside ou=groups then the value of
memberOf wont be populated.



If you set debug to heavy trace, you'll see that the plugin runs
in every situation but:

1.- when the objects belong to the same subsuffix, adding one
membership triggers the memberOf plugin to "ldap replace" values,
which is correct.

2.- when the objects belong to different subsuffix, adding one
membership triggers the memberOf plugin to "ldap REMOVE" values,
which amazes me.


Can you post your memberOf plugin configuration?
