Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/lldap/lldap/issues/1129

Motivation
Since 0.6 release, custom attributes have been of great use for many users. I think it would be easy enough to allow a new type of attribute of Boolean type.

Describe the solution you'd like
Integration of custom attributes with Boolean types for users and groups.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I guess String type could be used for those kind of integrations (with "True" or "False") but that may not be so simple for some users and maybe if they are allowed to self edit such attribute they won't know what to add.

Additional context
The feature should be added to the list here and when editing such attribute a checkbox should trigger a change in value.

Thanks for the great work and creating such an amazing project!

Would it be okay to use an integer instead, with values 1 or 0?

I agree that it's not the best representation and a boolean type would be better. For the record, I'm accepting this feature request as a "we should do this", but given the limited dev time we have, it won't be worked on for a long while (unless you do it yourself, in which case I can help guide you)

I am afraid I know nothing about Rust and I also find myself quite limited in time, so adding this as a future feature sounds good.
Sorry that I can't help in this occasion :(
And also thanks for the swift response
