Hi Emmanuel and All,

We discovered this hidden feature of ApacheDS which we thought is ultra cool but it works only under a certain condition which we yet to determine.

Here's the scenario. We have a containing(parent) entry which has 2 attributes whose syntaxes are DN (1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12). These 2 attributes in turn are holding the DN some other entries as shown below.

 Parent        ===========     ==========
| Attr A  | --> | Entry A|
|         |     ==========
|         |     ==========
| Attr B  | --> | Entry B|
===========     ==========

When we modify Entry A, its "modifyTimestamp" changed as expected, however what is interesting is the containing/parent entry's "modifyTimestamp" attribute is also changed. If this is is an expected behavior of apacheDS then it is ultra cool, is the a hidden feature?


it is the expected behavior
Is this expected behavior part of Ldap Specs? Or it is just ApacheDS implementation?

If I have a multi-generation of entries e.g. Grand-Parent, Parent, Child, will the Grand-Parent "modifyTimestamp" attribute also be changed when the Child's attributes is modified?
