Changelog draft ...



I was thinking that should 'changeLogEntry' object class be modified to
 include an extra optional attribute 'unchangedAttributes'.
 This attribute would store values for certain specific attributes even if they
 have not been modified.  The format would be LDIF.
This attribute would be present (if supported) in all types of changelog entries
 except 'changeType: add'.  One should be able to configure these attributes in the
LDAP server.

 IMO, this would help changelog clients to identify whether they need to
 process a changelog or not e.g. based on the 'objectClass' attribute
 if it is present in the 'unchangedAttributes'.  The other use could be to
 map a changelog entry to an entry in other type of directory.  E.g. if
 client directory uses 'uid' to identify directory entries and 'uid' is not
 there in the DNs but is present in 'unchangedAttributes'.
