Hello. I am on the way of porting a large contact people database from MS
Access into LDAP server because we developed a new application to manage
these information on LDAP.
The problem is the "ModifyDate" field in the original MS Access database
is a very important field. According to the regulation, a query should
always return a set of contacts whos record is not modified during recent
months. However we have problem migrating this field into LDAP database.
We plan to use modifiedTimeStamp for this field in the new application,
but we failed to import ldif files with modifiedTimeStamp. Looks like
this attribute cannot be "imported".
Is there any way to import a LDAP entry with modifiedTimeStamp or modify
"modifiedTimeStamp" after import (both helps migration)? We are using
OpenLDAP 2
OpenLDAP 2 is not a valid OpenLDAP release. Valid releases have 3 number
identifiers:
MAJOR version.MINOR version.Patch Level.
For example, the current release is:
OpenLDAP 2.3.20.
Or, Major version 2, Minor version 3, Patchlevel 20.
All versions of OpenLDAP I've used (2.1+) have a modifyTimeStamp attribute.
I would wonder how you are importing the data... Are you using the
recommended bulk loading tool, "slapadd" or are you using "ldapadd"?
"ldapadd" will not do what you want.
