Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-1080:
----------------------------------------------

I'm not sure if this should be considered as a bug, instead of a improvement.

modifiersName and modifyTimestamp are not mandatory attributes, as stated byt 
RFC 2251 and 4512 :

"
3.4.  Operational Attributes
...
Entries _may_ contain, among others, the following operational
   attributes:

      ...

      - modifiersName: the Distinguished Name of the user who last
          modified this entry, and

      - modifyTimestamp: the time this entry was last modified.
..."

The question is : do we implement and update those values in the server, and 
when ?

> If an existing entry is modified (e.g. additional attribute addition), and 
> the operational attributes "modifiersName" and "modifyTimestamp" are not 
> present, they are not present afterwards as well. 
> I have extended the existing test case 
> org.apache.directory.server.core.operational.OperationalAttributeServiceITest 
> in order to demonstrate this and to depict the desired behavior (svn commit 
> follows).
