Description Dave Sullivan 2008-08-04 22:20:31 UTC
Description of problem:

Changing the DN in an add preop is not really supported, but it can be done, just not with public interfaces (proto-slap.h).  Please file a bug to have the operation_set/get target spec routines moved to the public interface file.

Additional info:

Getting and Setting the DN of an Entry

You can call the following two front-end routines to get and set the DN for an entry:

    * To get the DN for an entry, call the slapi_entry_get_dn() function.
    * To set the DN for an entry, call the slapi_entry_set_dn() function. 

Doing this within a preop_add causes an error and the causes the slap pid to become dead.
