14.33. Slapi_UniqueID
Represents the unique identifier of a directory entry.
Syntax
#include "slapi-plugin.h" typedef struct _guid_t Slapi_UniqueID;
Description
Slapi_UniqueID is the data type for an opaque structure that represents the unique identifier of a directory entry. All directory entries contain a unique identifier. Unlike the distinguished name (DN), the unique identifier of an entry never changes, providing a good way to refer unambiguously to an entry in a distributed/replicated environment.
