A client can refresh the Time To Live (TTL) of a given directory entry to keep it alive in one of two ways:
- Performing an LDAP update to the value of its entryTTL attribute before the entry is garbage collected. This method of refreshing a dynamic entry in the directory is an additional (optional) feature of Active Directory Domain Services that is not specified by RFC 2589.
- Performing an LDAP extended operation with an OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.101.119.1 for TTL refresh, as stipulated in the RFC 2589. This OID is defined as LDAP_TTL_EXTENDED_OP_OID in WINLDAP.H.
