Description Nathan Kinder 2008-03-31 22:35:29 UTC 
The current SLAPI task API is lacking in numerous ways.  One of the main issues
is that not all functions and datastructures are exposed via SLAPI that are
needed for writing custom task plug-ins.

A detailed design document for this work is located at:

CVS Diffs

These diffs implement the new SLAPI task API that is described in the design
document on the Fedora Directory Server wiki.

Much of the existing API was reused, but new API and cleanup was performed as
well.  I converted the existing server and plug-in tasks to use the new task
API as much as possible.  The exceptions to this are some of the server
internal tasks that call into the backend plug-in.  These tasks work a bit
differently since they can be called as modes of ns-slapd.

Not sure QE can verify this bug, is so - can you please add steps to do so?
Comment 11 Nathan Kinder 2009-03-17 19:28:36 UTC 
This can not be verified by QE.  The new API was added and is listed in slapi-plugin.h.

Closing.
