I understand those are temporary accounts. Do those cases need an
arbitrary name from the LDAP namespace?

Several places I worked with use a pool of time-limited accounts from a
guestNNN namespace, for example: that could address your use case
without overlapping with anything else.

As I said in [🔎] 20200409181701.3qqsn5sqq3xbu2ia@enricozini.org, no, you
don't need to care about anything: you keep doing what you want, and we
deal with it.


So far, I only received requests to keep the status quo as it is
indefinitely, and very little in terms of counterprosals actionable now,
besides theoretical new software solutions to be explored, that would
address the problems I am having.

I want to be very clear on this: I have no intention of keeping the
status quo as it is now: either it becomes something that I can manage,
or I'll stop managing it.
