Hi All,
I have come across a peculiar situation and need help in solving this
problem.
Whenever any existing user is modified with a new password, then I need
to store a particular String in an attribute of the same entry which is
being dealt with.
I thought of two ways to do this (please tell me if you know any other
way) :
1. Implement a post modify plugin. Modify the entry using LDAP_Modify
function. (This is causing the OID to hang, as it becomes a recursive
operation. and stops only when all resources are exhausted.). Because
of the problem this approach is ruled out.
2. Another way, I can think of is to implement and extended operation
plugin for OID. This extended opeartion plugin which contain a function
to store the string in any entry which will be passed to the function
as input parameter. And after each modify operation (through a
post-modify plugin), I will call the extended operation plugin.
But, I have not come across any document which clearly specifies the
steps for creation of extended operation plugin for Oracle Internet
Directory.
Can anyone help me?
Please let me know in case you have any better ideas to solve the
problem.
Thanks a lot,
~Suprita
