One enhancement we have discussed adding to 389 is a control sent with 
update operations - the control response would contain  the values of 
generated attributes, to remove the need to immediately perform a search 
to get attributes such as uniqueid, uid, gid, createTimestamp, etc.  Is 
this something IPA would be interested in?  There has already been some 
discussion (a long time ago) on the 389 lists.  afaik there is no LDAP 
proposed standard feature for this.
