LDAP Rename fails to update modifyTimestamp
Last modified: 2015-01-07 19:08:53 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: When renaming an LDAP entry, the system maintained 'modifyTimestamp' attribute remains unchanged. According to a response from an openldap mailing-list, this doesn't happen in Openldap-2.2.17, but due to the Berkley DB dependancies, I can't get the 2.2.17 version compiled to check this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openldap-2.0.27-17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a non-leaf entry in an OpenLDAP database 2. Rename the entry 3. confirm that the modifyTimestamp remains unchanged Actual Results: The modifyTimestamp remains unchanged on a rename Expected Results: Renaming an entry invoves at the very least, changing it's DN and RDN which should result in the modifyTimestamp being updated Additional info:
