Sample DIOP Plug-in
To help you understand the DIOP feature, a sample DIOP plug-in is included
with Directory Server. This section provides an overview of the sample plug-in
and explains how you can use the plug-in to verify whether the DIOP feature
works in Directory Server. The preceding section, "Using the DIOP Feature," on
page 172, explains how you can use the sample plug-in. The next section,
"Debugging the Plug-in," on page 176, explains how you can troubleshoot the
plug-in.

Note the following:
• The main goal of the sample plug-in is to show how to create a simple plug-in
that supports data interoperability.
• The plug-in does not attempt to create any usable functionality to access
backends (database or files) but returns observable output uniformly to verify
that the functions in the pre-operation plug-in have been accessed and
executed for different LDAP operations.
• The plug-in demonstrates the use of APIs, which meet the requirements of the
DIOP feature.
