Subject:    [ldap] Do LDAP directories normally support a "last changed date/time" attribute?

Does the LDAP standard provide for a "last changed date/time" attribute for
entries such as person (or org person or inetOrgPerson)?  I am doing
analysis for an application which would greatly benefit if it could read
the last date and time that a user's information was changed.  This
application is supposed to work with LDAP directories from different
vendors, belonging to different companies, and we probably don't have the
luxury of making them change their scheme to include this attribute if it
isn't already there.

Even if this attribute turns out to not be in a standard schema, perhaps it
is stored by default in vendor-specific implementations (Novell, Netscape,
IBM, Microsoft, Siemens, OpenLDAP, etc.).  If anyone knows about how (or
if) this attribute is typically stored in LDAP directories, I would
appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you.

David Tao
