Re: Submission of Internet Draft - LDAP Control for Tree Deletion draft
Good idea. I've wondered what the best way to go about performing bulk operations would be. A similar idea I've been kicking around, while more generic, involves a control which works with multiple requests. The control could specify a group of entries to apply the operation to. The control likely contains most of the stuff found in a search request. It could be applied it to:
ModifyRequest
AddRequest
DelRequest <- could be used to del a (sub)tree
ModifyDNRequest
CompareRequest
ExtendedRequest
This would need a special response control which is capable of representing the individual results of the operation as they apply to each entry.
Now that I think about it. Unless this is flawed thinking, I'd rather have one general purpose bulk operation control than a growing number of specific ones.

Attached is a draft for an LDAP Control for Tree Deletion. This control
allows a client to delete a container and all subcontainers and objects. It
is being submitted to the IESG as an individual standard-tracks document and
forwarded to the LDAPEXT group for review and comment.
Comments and feedback on this draft would be appreciated.
Thanks,
