Remarks

Differences between LDAPReplaceAttribute and LDAPReplaceAttributeValue

LDAPReplaceAttribute is used to replace all the values of an attribute by a single value. A multi-valued attribute (several values for this attribute) will become a single-valued attribute (a single value for this attribute).
LDAPReplaceAttributeValue replaces the specific value of an attribute by a new value. A multi-valued attribute remains a multi-valued attribute.

Modifying an existing object on an LDAP server

To modify an existing object in an LDAP server, you must define the different modifications to perform.
To optimize object modification speed, modifications are defined locally: a single communication with the server is established when the modification is validated. The steps are:
  1. Start modification (LDAPStartModify)
  2. Modification operations:
  3. Validate the modifications on the server (LDAPValidateModify). The modifications are performed on the server according to the order used in the WLanguage code.
