[389-users] Deleting entries that are not modified recently

[Kimmo Koivisto]

Hello

Thanks for your answer.

I know about those timestamps, but I don't know if I can compare
timestamps with ldapsearch.

So, is it possible to compare or search entries older that defined
timestamp, for example:

ldapsearch "(objectClass=*)" * modifyTimestamp>20090801000000Z

or how I could do this?

Regards,
Kimmo
