Modifying an Entry in an Internationalized Directory
If the attribute values in your directory are associated with one or more languages
other than English, the attribute values are associated with language tags. When
using the
associated language tag, you must match the value and language tag exactly or
the modify operation will fail.
For example, if you want to modify an attribute value that has a language tag of
lang-fr
dn: bjensen,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: homePostalAddress;lang-fr
homePostalAddress;lang-fr: 34 rue de Seine
Maintaining Referential Integrity
Referential integrity is a database mechanism that ensures relationships between
related entries are maintained. In the Directory Server, referential integrity can be
used to ensure that an update to one entry in the directory is correctly reflected in
any other entries that may refer to the updated entry.
For example, if a user's entry is removed from the directory and referential
integrity is enabled, the server also removes the user from any groups of which
the user is a member. If referential integrity is not enabled, the user remains a
member of the group until manually removed by the administrator. This is an
important feature if you are integrating the Directory Server with other products
that rely on the directory for user and group management.
