Re: dITStructureRules



It would be interesting to know what some X.500 vendors currently do. This seems to beg for some kind of 'ambiguousStructuralRule' error.

What is the desired/proper behavior if when adding a new entry, there are two or more possible dITStructureRules that could equally be the governingStructureRule? 
 
For exampe:
NameForm1   mandatory cn, optional ou, namedObjectClass orgPerson 
NameForm2   mandatory cn, optional sn, namedObjectClass orgPerson
 
StructureRule5
     NameForm     nameForm1
     SuperiorRule   StructureRule4
 
StructureRule6
      NameForm     nameForm2
      SuperiorRule   StructureRule4
 
StructureRule7
       NameForm    nameform2
       SuperiorRule  Structurerule6
 
Attempting to add a orgPerson object with the rdn of "cn=ldapuser" to a parent object that has a governingStructureRule
of StructureRule4.
 
What dITStructureRule is set for the governingStructureRule or should this error?
I have looked through X.500 and the current model draft, I have not found the answer yet.
