Re: [ldapext] syntax or matching rule flaw in RFC 3045

[Ludovic Poitou <ludovic.poitou@Sun.COM>]

Sun Directory Server has implemented RFC 3045 with the schema as defined 
in the RFC.
I'm not aware of any application or customer actually using the equality 
matching rule.
The server itself doesn't (the values cannot be modified).
