If it is, I can't find it. Plus, a CSN seems to be associated with a change, not an entry. Like, if I changed a user's city and then changed their initials, that would be two different changes, each with its own CSN. Would the entry contain both? How would you know what changes each entailed?

Since asking the question, I've been doing some research and found that the "cn=changelog" tree is populated by the "Retro Changelog Plugin", and on my systems, that has a config that limits it to the "cn=dns" subtree in my domain. I guess that's the default config either for the plugin itself or for IdM. I did temporarily change the config on a test server, and it started reporting new CSNs as they came in, and it shows the target DN for each CSN, but the change itself is encapsulated in a blob.

The cn=changelog5,cn=config entry contains the on-disk location of the changelog where its saved as a Berkeley DB. It's almost as easy to pull the same data out of there.

It's good to know that I'm not just missing something obvious, though. Thanks.
