LDAP Operations

The LDAP protocol provides the following simple set of operations that LDAP clients can perform on objects:

• ADD–Adds a new object to the DIT
• MODIFY–Modifies an object in the DIT
• SEARCH–Locates or enumerates one or more objects in the DIT
• DELETE–Deletes an object from the DIT
• MODRDN–Renames an object by modifying its Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)
• COMPARE–Compares an object in the DIT to a certain criteria
