If you want to simply store name of entry creator, then you can use 
operational attributes creatorsName, createTimestamp, modifiersName and 
modifyTimestamp. You don't need to code anything new.

For example:
$ ldapsearch -Y GSSAPI -b idnsname=e.org,cn=dns,dc=e,dc=org createTimestamp 
creatorsName

... will print:

# txt2, e.org, dns, e.org
dn: idnsName=txt2,idnsName=e.org,cn=dns,dc=e,dc=org
createTimestamp: 20120810114214Z
creatorsName: cn=directory manager
