SLAPO_LASTMOD(5)	       File Formats Manual		SLAPO_LASTMOD(5)

NAME
     slapo-lastmod - Last Modification overlay

SYNOPSIS
     ETCDIR/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION
     The  lastmod  overlay  creates  a service entry rooted at the suffix of the
     database it's stacked onto, which holds the DN, the modification type,  the
     modifiersName and the modifyTimestamp of the last write operation performed
     on  that  database.   The lastmod overlay cannot be used when the "lastmod"
     feature is disabled, i.e. "lastmod off" is used.

     All operations targeted at the DN of the lastmod entry are rejected, except
     reads, i.e. searches with base scope.  Regular operations are ignored,  un-
     less they result in writing; then, in case of success, the lastmod entry is
     updated accordingly, if possible.

CONFIGURATION
     These  slapd.conf	configuration options apply to the lastmod overlay. They
     must appear after the overlay directive.

     lastmod-rdnvalue <RDN value>
	    Specify the value of the RDN used for the service entry.  By default
	    Lastmod is used.

     lastmod-enabled {yes|no}
	    Specify whether the overlay must be enabled or not at  startup.   By
	    default,  the  overlay  is enabled; however, by changing the boolean
	    value of the attribute lastmodEnabled, one can affect the status  of
	    the  overlay.   This is useful, for instance, to inhibit the overlay
	    from keeping track of large bulk loads or deletions.

OBJECT CLASS
     The lastmod overlay depends on the lastmod objectClass.  The definition  of
     that class is as follows:

	 ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.3.13 "
	     NAME 'lastmod'
	     DESC 'OpenLDAP per-database last modification monitoring'
	     STRUCTURAL
	     SUP top
	     MUST ( cn $ lastmodDN $ lastmodType )
	     MAY ( description $ seeAlso ) )

ATTRIBUTES
     Each  one of the sections below details the meaning and use of a particular
     attribute of this lastmod objectClass.  Most of  the  attributes  that  are
     specific  to  the lastmod objectClass are operational, since they can logi-
     cally be altered only by the DSA.	The most notable exception is the  last-
     modEnabled  attributeType,  which can be altered via protocol to change the
     status of the overlay.

     lastmodEnabled

     This attribute contains a boolean flag that determines the  status  of  the
     overlay.  It can be altered via protocol by issuing a modify operation that
     replaces the value of the attribute.

	 (  1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.30
	    NAME 'lastmodEnabled'
	    DESC 'Lastmod overlay state'
	    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7
	    EQUALITY booleanMatch
	    SINGLE-VALUE )

OPERATIONAL ATTRIBUTES
     Each  one of the sections below details the meaning and use of a particular
     attribute of this lastmod objectClass.  Most of  the  attributes  that  are
     specific  to  the lastmod objectClass are operational, since they can logi-
     cally be altered only by the DSA.

     lastmodDN

     This attribute contains the distinguished name of the entry that  was  last
     modified within the naming context of a database.

	 (  1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.28
	    NAME 'lastmodDN'
	    DESC 'DN of last modification'
	    EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch
	    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12
	    NO-USER-MODIFICATION
	    USAGE directoryOperation )

     lastmodType

     This  attribute  contains the type of the modification that occurred to the
     last modified entry.  Legal values are add, delete,  exop,  modify,  modrdn
     and  unknown.  The latter should only be used as a fall-thru in case of un-
     handled request types that are considered equivalent to a write operation.

	 (  1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.1.29
	    NAME 'lastmodType'
	    DESC 'Type of last modification'
	    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
	    EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
	    SINGLE-VALUE
	    NO-USER-MODIFICATION
	    USAGE directoryOperation )

EXAMPLES
	    database	mdb
	    suffix	dc=example,dc=com
	    overlay	lastmod
	    lastmod-rdnvalue "Last Modification"

BUGS
     It is unclear whether this overlay can safely interoperate with other over-
     lays.  If the underlying backend does not implement entry_get/entry_release
     handlers, modrdn update can become tricky.  The code needs some cleanup and
     more consistent error handling.  So far, the OIDs for  the  schema  haven't
     been assigned yet.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
     This  module  was	written in 2004 by Pierangelo Masarati in fulfillment of
     requirements from SysNet s.n.c.; this man page has been copied from  slapo-
     ppolicy(5),  and  most  of the overlays ever written are copied from Howard
     Chu's first overlays.

     OpenLDAP  is   developed	and   maintained   by	The   OpenLDAP	 Project
