Timestamp Attribute Granularity

Answer

Timestamp Attribute Granularity with IBM Security Directory Server (previously known as IBM Tivoli Directory Server):

For Directory Server v6.2 and later versions:

Starting with Directory Server v6.2 an enhancement was made to increase the granularity of the timestamp operational attributes to the microsecond.

In GMT format yyyymmddhhmmss.ffffffZ  
where "f" represents the fraction of a second

Example:

modifytimestamp=20090720210659.322433Z
createtimestamp=20090720210130.571777Z


For Directory Server v6.1 and v6.0:

The granularity of timestamp operational attributes was to the second.

In GMT format yyyymmddhhmmss.000000Z

Example:

modifytimestamp=20090810211745.000000Z
createtimestamp=20090810211745.000000Z

**Notes: To search for these operation attributes you can issue the following search command:

idsldapsearch -h <hostname> -p <port> -D <adminDN> -w <password> -s <base | sub | one> -b <baseDN> "objectclass=*" modifytimestamp createtimestamp
