Hi,

documentation for mod_ldap says:
--cut here--
LDAP connection pooling and result caching services for use by other LDAP modules
This module was created to improve the performance of websites relying on
backend connections to LDAP servers. In addition to the functions provided by
the standard LDAP libraries, this module adds an LDAP connection pool and an
LDAP shared memory cache.
--cut here--

But the truth is that mod_ldap is specialized to supply functions for
mod_auth_ldap and doesn't have any universal function with other modules can use.

Therefor I had to abuse util_ldap_cache_getuserdn, while I am really looking up
for virtual host from LDAP:

--cut here--
    apr_snprintf(filtbuf, FILTER_LENGTH,
"(&(%s)(|(apacheServerName=%s)(apacheServerAlias=%s)))", cfg->filter,
r->hostname, r->hostname);

    result = util_ldap_cache_getuserdn(r, ldc, cfg->url, cfg->basedn,
cfg->scope, attributes, filtbuf, &dn, &vals);
--cut here--

This is ugly, because error messages could get quite confusing.

I hope we can agree that this should be improved to create more universal
function (util_ldap_cache_find?) and change util_ldap_cache_getuserdn to use
this more universal function.

Thanks,
Ondrej.
