Overview of Plug-In Types

The dsconfig plugin-type property can be used to configure a plug-in to use one or more of the numerous plug-in types supported by the server. Usually a plug-in was written to perform a specific processing action for each of its default plug-in types. For this reason, a new default plug-in type cannot be added to a plug-in's configuration without changing the plug-in's underlying source code to add support for that plug-in type. A well-written plug-in checks the plug-in types passed to it from the configuration manager when it is enabled, and fails to start if it sees a plug-in type that it does not support.

Therefore, you can only remove one or more of the default plug-in type values from a plug-in's configuration. Care should be taken when doing this, because usually a plug-in has been engineered to support its default plug-in types for a reason. Removing one or more plug-in types might endanger the safe operation of the directory server.

Most of the plug-ins support more than one type, and multiple plug-ins are sometimes defined with the same plug-in type. The order in which these plug-ins are invoked during processing is undefined. If a specific order is required (for example, if the processing performed by one plug-in depends on the result of another), you can specify the order in which the plug-ins are invoked. For more information, see To Configure Plug-In Invocation Order.
