The LDAP Manager

Saving database modifications

By default, the ``Save last modification'' field is set to Off. Select On to save modification and creation information for any directory entry created or modified at run time.

When an object is created, the daemon attempts to add the following attributes:

creatorsname: the Distinguished Name (DN) of the creator
createtimestamp: the time of creation

Similarly, when an object is modified the following attributes are added:

modifiersname: the Distinguished Name (DN) of the modifier
modifytimestamp: the time of modification

Note that if schema checking is enabled (see ``Schema checking''), these attributes must be present in the daemon's object class definitions. If this is not the case, any attempt by the daemon to add the attributes will cause an object class violation, and the creation or modification of the entry will not be permitted.
