Hi,
these two patches aim to fix trac ticket #672. While the first patch
only makes a utility function public the second adds some new layers to
the LDAP access provider. I've tried to make the changes in a way to
make it easy to add new rules (#670) and new expire policies (#673,
#674, #690).
I would like to ask the reviewers to check if the new code is really as
flexible as I think and if it enough to evaluate the shadow expire
attribute here. TIA
bye,
Sumit
