Not up to now. But using the LDIF and HTML templates pre-configured for
cn=config name space is quite handy. You can contact me off-list if you
need further information on that.

You might find some therein:

The templates are available in the normal source distribution.

In web2ldap the DN handling after add/modify is somewhat strange if the
DN is changed by X-ORDERED handling. I presented this at ODD 2006. Kurt
et al suggested to use post-read control.
