Click Save and then restart the server.
For information on placing a single database in read-only mode, refer to “Enabling
Read-Only Mode,” on page 157.
Tracking Modifications to Directory Entries
You can configure the server to maintain special attributes for newly created or
modified entries:
•
creatorsName
—The distinguished name of the person who initially created
the entry.
•
createTimestamp
—The timestamp for when the entry was created in GMT
(Greenwich Mean Time) format.
•
modifiersName
—The distinguished name of the person who last modified the
entry.
•
modifyTimestamp
—The timestamp for when the entry was last modified in
GMT format.
To enable the Directory Server to track this information:
1.
On the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab and then select
the top entry in the navigation tree in the left pane.
2.
Select the Settings tab in the right pane.
NOTE This operation also makes the Directory Server configuration
read-only; therefore, you cannot update the server configuration,
enable or disable plug-ins, or even restart the Directory Server
while it is in read-only mode.
NOTE When a database link is used by a client application to create or
modify entries, the
creatorsName
and
modifiersName
attributes
do not reflect the real creator or modifier of the entries. These
attributes contain the name of the administrator who is granted
proxy authorization rights on the remote server. For information on
proxy authorization, refer to “Providing Bind Credentials,” on page
102.
