The

- is used to generate values for the entryUUID operational attribute
+ generates values for the entryUUID operational attribute
whenever an entry is added via protocol or imported from LDIF.
+ The entryUUID plug-in ensures that all entries
+ added to the server, whether through an LDAP add operation or via
+ an LDIF import, are assigned an entryUUID operational attribute if
+ they do not already have one. The entryUUID attribute contains a
+ universally unique identifier that can be used to identify an entry
+ in a manner that does not change (even in the event of a modify DN
+ operation). This plug-in generates a random UUID for entries created
+ by an add operation, but the UUID is constructed from the DN of the
+ entry during an LDIF import (which means that the same LDIF file
+ can be imported on different systems but still get the same value
+ for the entryUUID attribute). This behavior is based on the
+ specification contained in RFC 4530. The implementation for the
+ entry UUID plug-in is contained in the
+ org.opends.server.plugins.EntryUUIDPlugin class. It must be
+ configured with the preOperationAdd and ldifImport plug-in types,
+ but it does not have any other custom configuration. This
+ plug-in must be enabled in any directory that is intended to be used
+ in a synchronization environment.
