A usage of dynamic objects might be to implement dynamic meetings; in this case,
all the participants to the meeting are allowed to refresh the meeting object,
but only the creator can delete it (otherwise it will be deleted when the TTL expires).
If we add the overlay to an example database, specifying a Max TTL of 1 day, a
min of 10 seconds, with a default TTL of 1 hour. We'll also specify an interval
of 5 seconds between expiration checks and a tolerance of 1 second (lifetime of
a dynamic object will be {{B:entryTtl + tolerance}}.
of 120 (less than 60s might be too small) seconds between expiration checks and a
tolerance of 5 second (lifetime of a dynamic object will be {{entryTtl + tolerance}}).

So let's create an entry using:
and add an index:
> dn: cn=Dynamic,dc=example,dc=com
> objectClass: inetOrgPerson
> entryExpireTimestamp
Create a meeting is as simple as adding the following:
> dn: cn=OpenLDAP Documentation Meeting,ou=Meetings,dc=example,dc=com
> objectClass: groupOfNames
> objectClass: dynamicObject
> cn: Dynamic Object
> sn: Object

In simple terms, the user who created the {{OpenLDAP Documentation Meeting}} can add new attendees,
refresh the meeting using (basically complete control):
> ldapexop -x -H ldap://ldaphost "refresh" "cn=OpenLDAP Documentation Meeting,ou=Meetings,dc=example,dc=com" "120" -D "uid=ghenry,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" -W
Any user can join the meeting, but not add another attendee, but they can refresh the meeting. The ACLs above are quite straight forward to understand.
