Modifications to be applied to the entry.
List of controls associated with the operation.
Unique identifier of the entry to be modified.

Plug-in identity; a cookie that identifies the plug-in to the
Directory Server during an internal operation.
This cookie is used by the server to retrieve the plug-in
configuration in order to determine whether to allow the
operation and which actions to take during the operation
processing. Plug-in identity is passed to the plug-in initialization
function in the SLAPI_PLUGIN_IDENTITY pblock parameter.
A plug-in must save this information and pass it to every
internal operation issued by the plug-in.
Actions taken during operation processing.
