Sorry, I was not precise enough:
What I wanted to ask was: Is the "modify" the user was talking about a
LDIF-like modify, or is it a user-level modify like reading data from one
source, manipulating the data and then write that data to a possibly different
destination. The latter case is probably opening a can of worms, so to say.
