52.4. Entry Plug-ins

The parameters listed below are used for entry store and entry fetch plug-in functions. These plug-in functions are called by the server before writing an entry to disk and after reading an entry from disk. Entry store and entry fetch plug-in functions are passed using the string representation (in LDIF) of the entry.

Note

The Directory Server caches recently added and retrieved entries in memory. The entry fetch plug-in function is called only when reading the entry from the disk, not when reading the entry from the cache.
Parameter ID Description
SLAPI_PLUGIN_ENTRY_FETCH_FUNC This function fetches information that represents an LDAP entry.
SLAPI_PLUGIN_ENTRY_STORE_FUNC This function stores information about an entry that was fetched by the SLAPI_PLUGIN_ENTRY_FETCH_FUNC function.
