Hi Kevin,

How about defining an auxiliary object class which contains this UUID =
attribute (either as a mandatory or optional attribute type)?

This would allow you to add the UUID attribute to any entry (after =
adding the new object class to the 'objectClass' attribute of the entry =
of course).

This way you don't have to modify any existing class hierarchy.

Hope this helps,
Pierre-Arnaud
