Chapter 6. Operational Attributes and Object Classes
Operational attributes are attributes used to perform directory operations and are available for every entry in the directory, regardless of whether they are defined for the object class of the entry. Operational attributes are only returned in an
ldapsearch operation if specifically requested.
Operational attributes are created and managed by Directory Server on entries, such as the time the entry is created or modified and the creator's name. These attributes can be set on any entry, regardless of other attributes or object classes on the entry.
