Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
When modifying userPassword attributes of a user entity, it would be nice if PLA used the extended password modify operation as described in RFC 3062. This enables additional password-related security features, such as requiring the existing password to be supplied, and enabling the password policy overlay provided by OpenLDAP.
I am asking because I am trying to deploy PLA 1.0.2 as a directory administration tool for our customer, but the sticking point is the fact that it does not support enforcement of password policy. I added the ppolicy overlay to our OpenLDAP directory, but it only takes effect if the RFC3062 extended operation is used to modify the userPassword attribute.
PLA uses a "normal" ldap-modify operation that bypasses the policy enforcement.
I dont think the PHP API supports extended operations (yet)? If I am wrong and somebody can provide an example of how this is done in PHP, i'll aim to implement it in the next release...
