[Fedora-directory-devel] Plug-in development query

[Umasankar]

Hi,

Please bear with me if this is already handled in a
bug report or something like that. I did a search on
that docs, web and bugzilla but didn’t find an answer.


I am trying to write a simple post add operation
plug-in that logs the added entry to a change log
file. But I am facing an issue that even when the add
operation fails due to any reason, the post operation
plug-in logs the changes which is logically incorrect.
I am aware that a post operation plug-in will run
irrespective of whether the operation was successful
or failure. But I think there should be a way to know
the status of the operation from within the post-op
plug-in i.e. through the parameter block. I searched
through the RedHat’s plug-in programmer’s guide, but
to no avail.  

I found that the Parameter block structure has an
integer variable ‘pb_result_code’ (slap.h:1395:  int
pb_result_code) which I believe should store the
result of the operation as set by the back end. I
would like to know if this is right and if so, how to
access this variable from the plug-in or is there a
better way of finding the status of the operation that
I am not aware of. 

Any help or pointers to the right document will be
appreciated. 

Thanks

Umasankar P
