Using the DIOP Feature
This section explains how you can verify whether the DIOP feature works in
Directory Server. After you have successfully installed and configured two
instances of Directory Servers (as explained in the preceding sections), follow the
instructions in this section.
Note that to help you understand the DIOP feature, a sample plug-in in provided.
Details of this plug-in is covered in “Sample DIOP Plug-In,” on page 164. It is
recommended that you review the sample plug-in first and use that as an example
to develop your own plug-in.
To verify the DIOP feature, you may use the sample plug-in or reconfigure
Directory Server to use your own plug-in. You can also remove the plug-in
altogether from the server.
NOTE An example plug-in is shipped with the server to show how a DIOP
pre-operation plug-in can be used to work with the DIOP-enabled
server. For details about the sample plug-in, see “Sample DIOP
Plug-In,” on page 164.
To use the sample plug-in or your own custom plug-in in the
server, see “Using the DIOP Feature,” on page 162.
