Re: FW: I-D ACTION:draft-armijo-ldap-treedelete-02.txt
Michael,
There was an exchange seeral months back about this. I still think that
these type of operations are better implemented as extended operations than
as controls to existing operations. It seems to me that the handling of a
subtree delete that may span across multiple DSAs (aka LDAP servers) must
be substantially different than the handling of a delete for a single
object which normally can be implemented by a single DSA. My thinking is
that if a control might substantially change how an operation is
implemented by a DSA, it should be implemented as a control. So, I believe
that the extended operations that I proposed in:
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-greenblatt-ldapext-sos-00.txt
are beneficial for server and client implementations of LDAP and should be
progressed on the standards track.
What do people think? Should this be a control or an extended operation?
Are the other two operations that I proposed useful as well (subtree copy
and subtree modify).
