The change log can be configured to capture soft-delete changes to entries, so that external
clients, such as PingDataSync Server, can access these changes. The
ds-soft-delete-entry
attribute represents an entry that has been soft-deleted
and is part of the source entry passed into the changelog to indicate the entry has been
soft-deleted.
Two important points about soft deletes and the changelog are as follows:
- All soft-delete operations appear in the changelog and appear as a regular DELETE operation.
When a soft delete occurs, the resulting changelog entry will include a
ds-soft-delete-entry-dn
operational attribute with the value of the soft-deleted entry DN. If you are using PingDataSync Server, it does recognize theds-soft-delete-entry-dn
attribute and does not do anything with it. - The changelog backend’s
soft-delete-entry-included-operation
property determines whether or not MODIFY or DELETE operations of soft-deleted entries appear in the changelog. By default, the property is not enabled by default.
