This attribute is used for the retro change log. When the retro change log is enabled, this attribute specifies a change sequence number (CSN) for each record in the retro change log corresponding to a replicated operation. The CSN uniquely identifies each change made to the replicated data.

The CSN contains a timestamp, sequence number, replica ID, and subsequence number.

Syntax

Directory String, single-valued.

Usage

Operational attribute used by the directory service; returned in ldapsearch only when specifically requested.

The value of this attribute may only be modified by the server.

Examples

replicationCSN: 451d2c6d000200010000

In this example, the change sequence number is concatenated from the following values.

451d2c6d: This represents time as the number of seconds since January 1, 1970.
0002: This is the sequence number, which is used to distinguish between operations that happened during the same second.
0001: This is the replica ID, which in this example is 1.
0000: This is the subsequence number, which is not always used, but helps the server to manage information about the state of replication.
