adding empty entries to an ldap tree???

["Axel van Duijjkeren" <axel@bos.nl>]

Got a problem with adding empty entries to the LDAP structure. I have an
ldap tree, which sometimes, changes. When an entry changes it's possible
that not all attributes contain data which had data before. I modify my
entry, change the attributes which changed but the old fields which
contained data still have the same data.

Now my question is: it possible to insert attributes in an entry and at the
same moment remove all the existing attributes in that particular entry(And
i mean not a leaf entry). Or do i need to insert data in all attributes,
e.g. EMPTY or another character which indicates that an attribute is empty.
If the last case is what is need to do, how do i insert ' '.

Thanx in advance for your help,

greetings

Axel
