Writing a Pre-Operation Bind Plug-in
Chapter 8 Defining Functions for Authentication 105
Registering the Plug-In
To register the plug-in, follow the instructions appropriate for the Directory Server
you’re using:
• In Directory Server 4.x, add the
plugin preoperation
directive to the end of
the
slapd.ldbm.conf
file, which is located in the
<server_root>/slapd-<instance_id>/config
directory:
plugin preoperation on “my preop plugin”
/<server_root>/plugins/slapd/slapi/examples/libtest-plugin.so
testauth_init
Note that each pre-operation and post-operation plug-in is associated with a
backend. Make sure that the
plugin
directive that registers the plug-in is
within the database section for that back-end in the server configuration file.
(The
plugin
directive should be added somewhere after the
database
directive.)
• In Directory Server 6.x, add this to the end of the
dse.ldif
file, which is
located in the
<server_root>/slapd-<instance_id>/config
directory:
dn: cn=Test Bind,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: nsSlapdPlugin
objectClass: extensibleObject
cn: Test Bind
nsslapd-pluginPath:
<server_root>/plugins/slapd/slapi/examples/libtest-plugin.so
nsslapd-pluginInitfunc: testbind_init
/* Register the pre-operation bind function and specify
the server plug-in version. */
if ( slapi_pblock_set( pb, SLAPI_PLUGIN_VERSION,
SLAPI_PLUGIN_VERSION_01 ) != 0 ||
slapi_pblock_set( pb, SLAPI_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION,
(void *)&bindpdesc ) != 0 ||
slapi_pblock_set( pb, SLAPI_PLUGIN_PRE_BIND_FN,

return( -1 );
