Registering the Extended Operation Plug-In

Before using the plug-in function as described here, build the plug-in. Also, configure Directory Server to load the plug-in.

Notice that OID 1.2.3.4 is passed as an argument through the configuration entry. The configuration entry could specify more than one nsslapd-pluginarg attribute if the plug-in supported multiple extended operations, each identified by a distinct OID, for example.

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.

   Hint Use the commands specified in the comments at the outset of the plug-in source file.

3. Restart Directory Server.

   $ dsadm restart instance-path
