LDAP Accounting Attributes
Logging and accounting features include Account Start, Stop and Fail Times, and Dynamic Log.
Typically, the Login and Logout logs can be accessed from the directory server software. Additional third-
party software is required to retrieve and reset the log information to the directory servers for billing
purposes.
The following sections describe accounting server attributes.
AccountStartTime
User account start times are tracked in the AccountStartTime attribute of the directory entry of the user
that keeps the time stamp and accounting information of user log-ins. The following fields (separated by
carriage returns “|”) are contained in the Login log. Some fields are only used for Layer 2 Authentication.
Fields Included For Any Type of Authentication
• User account ID or username client entered to log-in: variable length digits.
• Time Stamp (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS (YYYY:year, MM:month, DD:day, HH:hour, MM:minute,
SS:second)

AccountStopTime
User account stop times are tracked in the AccountStopTime attribute that keeps the time stamp and
accounting information of successful user log-outs. The same fields as above (separated by carriage
returns “|”) are contained in the Logout log. A different carriage return such as the # sign can be used in
some situations. Additionally, these fields are included but apply only to the Logout log:
