Description Roland Pope 2004-11-07 21:11:54 UTC
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
