====== Executable Plugin ======

<note>
* Plugin version: 1.0
* Minimal required LSC version: 2.1
</note>

===== Presentation =====

This plugin enables any sysadmin to use LSC on a custom source or destination without writing Java code, only by wrapping each method through a script command.

Scripts must return on the standard output the attended content. Error stream is reserved for messages that must be handle like error message. A non null return code indicates that the script encountered an error.

The design of a source connector only requires two scripts :
* the LIST script which provides the entries DN list
* the GET script which returns an full entry based on its DN

The design of a destination connector requires 4 more scripts :
* the ADD script which add a new entry (add operation)
* the UPDATE script which update an existing entry (modify operation)
* the REMOVE script which delete an existing entry (delete operation)
* the RENAME script which change the DN of an existing entry (modrdn operation)

There are two different destination connectors:
* Executable LDAP destination service: LIST and GET operations are done with LDAP destination service
* Executable LDIF destination service: LIST and GET operations are done by scripts, like the one use in Executable LDIF source service
