Under recent versions of FDS, is it OK to use virtual attributes (i.e., nsRole or CoS-generated) in ACI targetfilters? In earlier versions of Netscape DS, this was not recommended, and this is still mentioned in the RHDS 7.1 docs:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/acl.html#1013769
However, in testing I haven't seen any problems so far doing this, and have noticed examples of it elsewhere, e.g.:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-directory-users/2005-June/msg00188.htm...
Are the docs just a little dated on this, or is it still not a good idea?
Thank you! -- George

I believe this warning was written before virtual attribute evaluation was added to the filter code (so searches etc. didn't work with virtual attributes) - that is no longer the case and hasn't been for many years.
