Apologies for the elementary nature of this
question. If there is a more appropriate mailing list to send it to,
please let me know.
Anyhow, I have been looking at the policy drafts
from the IETF (<draft-ietf-policy-framework-00.txt>, for example) and I
have been doing some LDAP-related work for a couple of months. LDAP, near
as I can tell, has no transactional model. Relationships in network
management and policy management/deployment can get a little hairy. I was
wondering if the need for transactional support in LDAP is felt, or if an
architectural decision has been made that any transactional enforcement is up to
the application via a TP monitor or similar product? Or if I am totally
off base and there is some transactional support mechanism in LDAP of which I am
ignorant (wouldn't be the first time.)
Thanks,
Linda Grimaldi
