can you test this ?

delete: <attribute_name>
<attribute_name>: value1

i think it works.

Yes, works fine. But what about modifying multiple definied attrs?

attribute: value1
attribute: value2
replace: attribute
attribute: ...

won't work at all, I think. The only idea is to fetch all attributes
find that one i wish to change, chane tihs one and write then all
aats/value pairs once again.

e.g:

attribute: valueA
attribute: valueB
replace: attribute
attribute: valueA
attribute: othervalue

or is there also another way?

the replace action must be tested... on Novell, the replace action is :
- delete of value
- add the new value
( i don't know if it's the same for iplanet or openLDAP)

if your attribute is mandatory, then bang it doesn't work...

if your attribute is mandatory and multivalued, then add your values 
and delete your old values.
i think it's better.

maybe someone can confirm ???

(sorry for my english)

Ok, that's what I thought. But before adding new values I've also to
verfiy that this new attr/val combinations does not yet exists.

then you should launch a ldapsearch before modify your values.
I like LDAP !!!
I'm working in a LDAP Team since 2 years and really it's fine !
If you want to have more information about it , feel free to contact 
me.
What directory are you use ? (novell, iplanet, openLdap ?)
