Processing an LDAP Compare Operation
Processing an LDAP Compare Operation
When the Directory Server receives an LDAP compare request from a client, the
front-end gets the DN of the entry being compared and the attribute and value
being used in the comparison.
The front-end makes this information available to pre-operation and
post-operation plug-in functions in the form of parameters in a parameter block.
Parameter ID
SLAPI_COMPARE_TARGET
SLAPI_COMPARE_TYPE
SLAPI_COMPARE_VALUE
The compare function should call
LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE
attribute or
If successful, the compare function should return 0. If an error occurs (for example,
if the specified attribute doesn't exist), the compare function should call
slapi_send_ldap_result()
Processing an LDAP Add Operation
When the Directory Server receives an LDAP add request from a client, the
front-end normalizes the DN of the new entry. The front-end makes this
information available to pre-operation and post-operation plug-in functions in the
form of parameters in a parameter block.
Parameter ID

SLAPI_ADD_ENTRY
