Subject: RE: [provision] Can Modify change PSO-ID?
Gary, In that case, assuming the restriction is in place, how would one implement via SPML the ability to rename an LDAP user DN?

Well, we said that PSO-IDs can be mutable. Jeff Bohren went so far as to say that a provider SHOULD use an immutable identifier for each object--but we don't say "MUST". In the draft I use the example of moving a User to a new OU. If the provider exposes DN as the PSO-ID, then the move (i.e., setParent) changes the PSO-ID. The 'setParentResponse' must therefore return the modified PSO-ID. My question is whether a 'modify' operation (and not just 'setParent') may modify the PSO-ID. (I don't like this, but I don't recall participants being too crisp on this point in the last Face-to-Face.) Suppose that someone exposes DN as a modifiable attribute (or imagine any scenario in which a modifiable attribute is exposed as (part of) the identifier. I would *like* to specify that A 'modify' operation MUST NOT change the PSO-Identifier of the modified object. Is there any objection to this?
