OpenDJ Server - Attribute Cleanup Plugin

Attribute Cleanup Plugin

A pre-parse plugin which can be used to remove and rename attributes in ADD and MODIFY requests before being processed.

This plugin should be used in order maintain interoperability with client applications which attempt to update attributes in a way which is incompatible with LDAPv3 or OpenDJ. For example, this plugin may be used in order to remove changes to operational attributes such as modifiersName, creatorsName, modifyTimestamp, and createTimestamp (Sun DSEE chaining does this).
