Detailed Description

LDAP cache interface.

We need to cache all LDAP query results, they just take too long. We do hashing with chaining. Two caches are needed:

1. name -> uuid, indexed by a hash(f(): hashstring) of the name
2. uuid -> name, indexed by a hash of the uuid(f(): hashuuid) Both hash funcs result in a value 0-255 with which we index in an array. We malloc and free all elements as needed. The cache caches for CACHESECONDS.
