Hi All,

We have a requirement to capture last modified by information in LDAP. Want your suggestions on how to achieve this? 

Regards,

Sandeep,

By default, I believe, what you are looking for is being placed in Operational Attribute called 'modifierName'. Keep in mind that this is an Operational Attribute, so might not be visible normally. Depending on LDAP browser in use, you can view it.

e.g. I have used JXplorer LDAP browser and when reviewing an entry, I click on 'Properties' button and the list of Operational Attributes shows themselves up at the top.

i.e. Normal look:

After clicking on 'Properties' button:

Hope this is what you are after and it helps.

Cheers,

Hitesh

This helped a lot Hitesh_Patel. Thanks for your quick response on this. Much appreciated !!

And if you are interested in WHEN , as you can see (in the same screenshot above), there is also modifyTimeStamp Operational Attribute that CA Directory maintains.

And further, if you want to dump this information to a flat file, you can even run dxsearch or ldapsearch to retrieve this information.

e.g. 

dxsearch -LLL -h hostname:port -b "o=democorp,c=au" modifiersname modifytimestamp > modifiers_name_time.ldif

and the resulting 'modifiers_name_time.ldif' will look something link this:
