I have a question concerning the best method to modify an entry (in openldap) using a programming API like php.
php offers the ability to modify an entry using some fucntions like ldap_modify, ldap_mod_add, ldap_mod_del. sometimes it's complicated to use these functions, in this case, developpers use another approach, which is deleting the entry and then add it with the new attributes etc.
What do you mean with complicated?
my question is: is it fine to delete an entry and re-add it?? does this affect the performance of openLDAP?
Ciao, Michael.
