public class EntryUUIDVirtualAttributeProvider
extends VirtualAttributeProvider<EntryUuidVirtualAttributeCfg>

This class implements a virtual attribute provider that is meant to serve the entryUUID operational attribute as described in RFC 4530. Note that this should only be used for entries used in conjunction with data in private backends (e.g., those holding the configuration, schema, monitor, and root DSE entries). Real user data should have entry UUID values generated at the time the entries are added or imported.
