4.4. Running the Plug-in
After compiling the plug-in and registering it with the Directory Server, you can make calls that are processed by the plug-in functions.
The first step is to restart the Directory Server and check the error log to see that the plug-in is properly registered. You should see the following line in the error log:
Error log messsage here!
Verify that the plug-ins log level is selected. Error logging is controlled with the
nsslapd-errorlog-level attribute in cn=config. For the plug-ins log level, set this value to 65536 or set an OR for the current value to 65536. (The sample source code logs messages to the error log with the plug-ins severity level.)
If the plug-in is properly registered, you can then perform a few searches against the directory. The pre-operation search plug-in function should write data about each search to the error log.
