4.1.10.5.6 FilterAttribute

 procedure FilterAttribute(
   o: DSName,
   attribute: ATTRTYP,
   s: AttributeStamp,
   pUtd: ADDRESS OF UPTODATE_VECTOR_V1_EXT,
   partialAttrs: set of ATTRTYP,
   partialAttrsEx: set of ATTRTYP,
   dirSyncFlags: ULONG): boolean

Informative summary of behavior: The FilterAttribute procedure determines whether an update (attribute or link value) that is in scope should be filtered out of the set of changes to send in the replication cycle. The rules are as follows:

  • If the client's up-to-date vector pUtd asserts that the client has already applied the update with stamps, the update is filtered out, provided that attribute is not in the partialAttrsEx set. The elements of partialAttrsEx are not subject to filtering by the up-to-date vector.

  • If partialAttrs is not null (indicating the client has a partial replica) and attribute is not in partialAttrs + partialAttrsEx, then the update is filtered out.

  • If partialAttrs is not null, attribute is member, o is of class group, and o is not a universal group, then the update is filtered out.

  • If attribute is the naming attribute (that is, cn for objects of class container, as shown below) for the object class of o, the update is filtered out.

  • If LDAP_DIRSYNC_OBJECT_SECURITY is in dirSyncFlags, and the client does not have access rights to read the object, all the updates are filtered out except updates to the isDeleted and isRecycled attributes.
