Apologies for the elementary nature of this
question. If there is a more appropriate mailing list to send it to,
please let me know.
Anyhow, I have been looking at the policy
drafts from the IETF (<draft-ietf-policy-framework-00.txt>, for example)
and I have been doing some LDAP-related work for a couple of months.
LDAP, near as I can tell, has no transactional model. Relationships in
network management and policy management/deployment can get a little
hairy. I was wondering if the need for transactional support in LDAP is
felt, or if an architectural decision has been made that any transactional
enforcement is up to the application via a TP monitor or similar
product? Or if I am totally off base and there is some transactional
support mechanism in LDAP of which I am ignorant (wouldn't be the first
time.)
Thanks,
Linda Grimaldi
