Description

If I create an entry and perform a modification on it, the values of the operational attributes creatorsName and modifiersName contain OIDs instead of attribute names:

$ ldapsearch -D "uid=admin,ou=system" -w ****** -b "cn=Kate Bush,dc=example,dc=com" -s base "(objectClass=)" "" "+"
version: 1
dn: cn=Kate Bush,dc=example,dc=com
createTimestamp: 20060810092457Z
modifiersName: 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1=admin,2.5.4.11=system
modifyTimestamp: 20060810093218Z
creatorsName: 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1=admin,2.5.4.11=system
objectclass: person
objectclass: top
sn: Bush
cn: Kate Bush

I am not sure, whether this is a defect. But it looks strange to me, I have never seen an LDAP server which does it that way, and the behavior in Apache Directory Server was also different in earlier versions (i.e. creatorsName: uid=admin,ou=system).
