Purpose

This function modifies an entry by adding, replacing, or deleting a specified attribute and its values. You can specify only one of the three options -- "add", "replace", or "delete" -- or an error will occur. If you "add", all of the attribute values will be added to the entry. If the attribute does not exist, it will be created. If you "replace", all of the values of the attribute will be deleted and the new values added. If you "delete", the attribute values will be deleted. If no attribute values are specified with the delete operation, all of the values of the specified attribute will be deleted.

Example: 

     include "omldap.xin"
  
     process
        local ldapConnection my-ldap
        local ldapAttribute my-entry variable
  
        ...
        ldapModifyEntry "cn=Lalime,Department=HR,O=omnimark.com"
           on    my-ldap
           add   "phonenumber"
           value "(123) 456-1212"
           value "(123) 456-1213"
