Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-461:
-------------------------------------------
LDAP doesn't specifiy referential integrity. However some server implement it.
OpenLDAP for example has an overlay for that. In ApacheDS it could be
implemented with a new interceptor or by using Triggers and StoredProcedures.
Group membership (which uses DNs for relationship) is only one case. For
example when you store posixAccount and posixGroup in your LDAP then the
reference between them is based on integer attributes (gidNumber, uidNumber,
memberUid). So I think what's 'valid' depends on the data you store in your
LDAP.

> Key: DIRSTUDIO-461
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-461
> Project: Directory Studio
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Paul Dorman
> Priority: Minor
>
> For testing my software application, I have bogus entries in my group
> membership lists. It would be useful to select a vertex in the directory tree
> and have 'validate entries' or some such to identify invalid entries. This
> would help me tune my deliberate directory corruption so I can be confident
> my application handles real errors. I use OpenLDAP, which seems to allow a
> lot of errors.
> This feature would also be helpful for those reorganizing or debugging a
> directory. Our directory is particularly poor at the moment and we would
> benefit from some good analysis tools.
> Thanks for a great program though. Beats Luma (QT3 and Python) and
> LDAPBrowser (Java) hands down.
