Testing the Computed Attribute Plug-In

Before you can test the plug-in with the ldapsearch command, you must register the plug-in with Directory Server.

To Register the Plug-In

If you have not already done so, build the example plug-in library and activate both plug-in informational logging and the example plug-in.

1. Build the plug-in.

   Hint Use install-path/examples/Makefile or install-path/examples/Makefile64.

2. Configure Directory Server to log plug-in informational messages and load the plug-in.

   $ dsconf create-plugin -F custom-plugin-init-function -G custom-plugin-argument -H lib-path \ -Y custom-plugin-type "Custom Plugin" $ dsconf enable-plugin "Custom Plugin"

   Hint For more information, use the commands specified in the plug-in source file.

3. Restart Directory Server.

   $ dsadm restart instance-path

To use the Computed Attribute Plug-In

Before You Begin
