DIRECTORY SERVICES
Note You cannot enable LDAP write access to a condensed Directory Catalog served by the LDAP service.
Keep the following points in mind if you enable LDAP write access for a directory:
1. Domino does not provide a tool for doing LDAP write operations, you must develop or obtain one.
2. If you allow LDAP write access, use the directory database ACL, and optionally, extended ACL, to control the directory changes that LDAP users can make.
3. Enable schema checking for the LDAP service to require that directory changes made via LDAP conform to the directory schema. By default schema checking is disabled, if you allow LDAP write operations, enabling it is recommended to maintain consistent directory contents.
4. The Administration Process server task doesn't respond to LDAP write operations. For example, if an LDAP user deletes a Person document, the Administration Process can't delete the associated user name from database ACLs.
5. The LDAP service can carry out an LDAP write operation in a secondary Domino Directory or Extended Directory Catalog only if that directory is stored locally on the server that runs the LDAP service. If the LDAP service receives a write operation request for a Domino Directory on a remote server, it sends an LDAP referral to the client. The LDAP service refers the client to the administration server for the directory. If there is no administration server specified, it refers the client to the remote server that stores the directory. The client must then follow the referral itself.
8. You can't modify the value of an entry's structural object class attribute.
