Re: Q: LDIF: use replace instead of add/delete?

Hello!
I have a question:
Is it always OK to use LDIF "replace", even if the attribute doesn't
exist yet? If so, is it also OK to use "replace" with out specifying an
attribute value instead of using "delete"?
I actually managed to do the first one, and the operation is logged
as
"replace" not as "add" in accesslog. I wrote a program that uses
accesslog to create an "undo-LDIF" to undo recent changes on demand. Now
with that "replace" having succeeded, the undo operation created for it
would be the second case ("replace" with no new value).
Read RFC4511 section 4.6.
