Every entry in the LDAP server contains a set of operational attributes. 
You can request them individually, or all at once using the "+" attribute 
flag to ldapsearch.


ldapsearch -LLL -Q -h ldap uid=quanah +
dn: uid=quanah,cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu
structuralObjectClass: suAccount
creatorsName: cn=manager,dc=stanford,dc=edu
createTimestamp: 20030529234623Z
entryUUID: 1d9a7fc4-019e-1028-8bad-89d9a09c6a42
entryCSN: 20050929125344Z#000020#00#000000
modifiersName: uid=quanah,cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu
modifyTimestamp: 20050929125344Z
entryDN: uid=quanah,cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu
subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema
hasSubordinates: FALSE


ldapsearch -LLL -Q -h ldap uid=quanah modifyTimestamp
dn: uid=quanah,cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu
modifyTimestamp: 20050929125344Z
