A plug-in is a piece of code that can be used to interject some custom logic into the way that the Directory Server performs its processing. The directory server supports a number of different types of plug-ins, including:
Pre-parse plug-ins, which allow the server to alter the contents of a request before the server begins processing on it. Pre-parse plug-ins are available for all types of operations.
Pre-operation plug-ins, which allow the server to take some action just before the core processing for an operation. Pre-operation plug-ins are available for all types of operations except abandon and unbind..
Post-operation plug-ins, which allow the server to take some action just after the core processing for an operation but before the response has been sent to the client (it may be used to alter the response to the client). Post-operation plug-ins are available for all types of operations.
Post-response plug-ins, which allow the server to take some action after all other processing for an operation has completed. Post-response plug-ins are available for all types of operations except abandon and unbind.
Search result entry plug-ins, which alter the contents of a search result entry being sent as part of a search operation.
Search result reference plug-ins, which alter the contents of a search result reference being sent as part of a search operation.
Intermediate response plug-ins, which alter the contents of an intermediate response being sent to a client.
Startup plug-ins, which perform some processing when the server is first starting.
Shutdown plug-ins, which perform some processing when the server is performing a graceful shutdown.
Post-connect plug-ins, which perform some processing as part of accepting a new client connection.
Post-disconnect plug-ins, which perform some processing immediately after a connection is terminated.
LDIF import plug-ins, which alter the contents of entries being imported from an LDIF file.
LDIF export plug-ins, which alter the contents of entries being exported from a server back end.
