RE: Distinguished values

["Ramsay, Ron" <Ron.Ramsay@ca.com>]

Have you got lost in the semantics. The values in the AVA *are* values from the entry. Naturally, when you specify a DN, you may choose values that match, but this is a choice that you make. The meaning of the AVA is that it identifies a distinguished value.

"These AVAs are chosen to match values from the attributes of the
entry?"

I suppose one could quibble that one can then choose RDN cn=foo to
match street:foo when there is no cn:foo in the entry, but... um.
