Plug-in Dependencies
You can specify that your plug-in is dependent on one or more different plug-ins. If
you do specify any plug-in dependencies, those plug-ins that you specify must
properly start before your associated plug-in will start.
There are two attributes that you can use in the plug-in configuration file to specify
the dependencies of your plug-in:
•
nsslapd-plugin-depends-on-name
•
nsslapd-plugin-depends-on-type
Each of these attributes can take multiple values, meaning that your plug-in
depends on one or more other plug-ins.
Specific Plug-in Dependencies
If you specify the
nsslapd-plugin-depends-on-name
configuration file, set its value to the names of one or more plug-ins. For example,
in your plug-in configuration file, you could specify the following:
nsslapd-plugin-depends-on-name: my_pluginA
nsslapd-plugin-depends-on-name: vendor_pluginB
