I think you're right; I'd like something simpler.
But, it might be what it is. Has anyone on list written a post-op
that deals with add/change/modify to a multi-valued attribute value when
another attribute value changes? Would you be willing to share the
code?

The apps are already in place. If I understand roles
correctly, it appears the apps would have to be changed to make use of
'roles'.

This looked very interesting. However, Class
of Service precludes multi-valued attributes. If a person is in multiple
groups, then 'memberOf' would be multi-valued, right?
