pre-operation (search) plugin performance? examples?
Does anyone have any good examples of pre-operation search plug-in? We are running DS 5.2 sp4 on HPUX
I am looking into developing a custom plugin to our SunONE directory that will be executed as a pre-operation to a search request. The plugin will check the search filter for uid=. If the filter for uid= contains leading/trailing spaces, the plugin will not execute the LDAP search and disallow the user from authenticating.
This would affect ALL searches done against our directory.
Has anyone implemented a pre-operation search plugin before? Do you have an idea of performance impacts?

There are certainly people who did it, but I've never heard of one, or seen any sample.

Well written, there should be very limited performance impact.
