To add entries to an existing server while preserving operational such as createTimestamp or modifiersName, attach the Ignore No User Modification control to the request.

The Ignore No User Modification control allows modification of certain attributes that have the No User Modification constraint.

The Ignore No User Modification only applies to ADD requests. If you use the control to modify an existing entry, it results in an operational attribute change and fail.

To append entries to an existing server, perform the following steps:

Run the ldapmodify command with the Ignore No User Modification control.
The OpenID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.30221.2.5.5.
```
$ bin/ldapmodify --control 1.3.6.1.4.1.30221.2.5.5 \
  --filename change-record.ldif
```
