The atomicity guidelines of LDAP should apply.

In general (*), LDAP provides atomicity at the entry level.
That is, any two operations acting upon a entry are serialized
by the server.

* some directories may support forms of replication
(e.g. multi-master)which do not guarantee atomic update
of entries.

Answers more specific to OpenLDAP can be obtained by
posting to the OpenLDAP-software mailing list.
