slapo-collect should intercept the write request and forbid the write access if the attribute type is declared with COLLECTIVE.

Yep. That sounds reasonable, but i presume it should either return an unwilling to perform, or silently ignore it.

I'd prefer to not silently ignore it since returning unwillingToPerform clearly indicates that a client is misbehaving which needs correction.

The latter case would be better if dumping out a ldap database (as it would be dumped as a "real" attribute) and then wanting to import that same data back ?

slapadd is a completely different use-case anyway because operational attributes are also imported.
