Re: Does OpenLDAP support transactions

[vadim tarassov <vadim.tarassov@swissonline.ch>]

Hi Christian,

Regarding transactions in OpenLDAP the roadmap 
http://www.openldap.org/software/roadmap.html mentions something about 
LDAP transactions:

OpenLDAP 2.3 (~4Q2003)
   Functional enhancements and improved scalability:

       * LDAPv3 extensions:
             o Collective Attributes
             o LDAP Transactions


however unfortunately I have no idea what is this, and anyway they 
should appear only by the end of this year.

Best regards, vadim tarassov.
