hi all,
usually ldap isn't able to atomically delete a subtree (non-leaf). This is annoying while cleaning eg. an user addressbook of thousands of contacts.
Can fedora directory server manage in some way this kind of deletion atomically?
If not, do you think it's an interesting feature?
Peace, R.

No.

Yes. We should investigate this as part of subtree rename. At the very least, you could rename your subtree (e.g. move ou=contacts to ou=deletedcontacts then delete ou=deletedcontacts while you repopulate ou=contacts).
Peace, R.

I'll try and let you know. Just to know, why removing subtree have never be implemented in ldap?
Thx+Peace, R.

Try what? subtree rename is not currently implemented.

Good question.

Most LDAP servers implement this control (also supported in my web2ldap):
http://tools.ietf.org/draft/draft-armijo-ldap-treedelete/
Ciao, Michael.

it was the first thing I saw, but seems that only OpenDS Server supports it.. do you know other servers?

From memory MS AD and OpenLDAP (at least for back-sql).
There might be others but I'm too lazy to look through all the ones listed at http://www.web2ldap.de/compability.html#ldap_servers
