Simple question that I hope someone can give me a yes/no answer to.

Is ldap_add (all flavours) atomic? That is, if I attempt to add an
entry with multiple attributes is is guaranteed to be either completely
added with all attributes or else completely fail with no entry added
at all? Is it possible for the operation to fail leaving a new entry
with some but not all the attributes?

I'm not sure if the LDAP standards say it is supposed to be atomic, but I think it is supposed to be. I know that in Netscape and Sun Directory Servers ldap_add is atomic.



I've looked through the RFC 2251 and it explicitely states that ldap_modify is atomic, but says nothing about ldap_add... Thanks, Tomás
