Hi ekacnet,

I would say that this is a very clean and acceptable approach.

My comments:
- You have to mark each type of LDAP request as secure if needed, not 
only searches (think about further requirements - which are not only 
referrals)
- On 959966ba0f95882e5a9b6900aabd939113f6dea3 you could also introduce 
the "prefix" helper in the objectclass LDB module (just to make the 
change consistent)
- I'm not sure if the following is Samba style-compatible (objectclass 
module); better use "} else {":
> +                       }
> +                       else {

Cheers,
Matthias
