LDAP delete operation timestamp control

The LDAP delete operation timestamp control explains its use with the server and provides the results.

Description

This control is used to send the modified timestamp values to a replica during a delete operation.

Note: This control is always enabled.

OID

1.3.18.0.2.10.32

Syntax

Control ::= SEQUENCE{
      controlType      1.3.18.0.2.10.32,
      criticality      BOOLEAN  FALSE,
      controlValue     OCTET STRING
}

where, the OCTET STRING value is a BER encoded value that represents the timestamp value of the delete operation.

Behavior

The LDAP delete operation timestamp control is registered for delete operations. This control contains the modified timestamp value for a replicated delete operation. It is used on a replica to update the corresponding value of a group entry, which undergoes group referential integrity check. This control does not rely on other controls and operates independently of other controls. The additional information is parsed to check for NULL value of timestamp for the control. If NULL is found, appropriate error code is returned.

Only the master server DN and supplier DN are authorized to send this control, since this control is used internally by the server replication code. If this control is sent by any other user, LDAP_INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS is returned.

The control has the possible return code as LDAP_INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS. This control is not supported by the Administration Server.

Scope

This control lasts for one delete operation.
