Re: attribute senstive synthax

Unfortenuately my php+perl code use attribute without the proper case which is define in my schema and it does not work !
If I change, to respect the case, the name of some attribute it functions.
So the case of Name attribute seems to be important !!!!
Is there an option to avoid to repect the case of name attribut ?

The equality and substring rules refer to the VALUE of the attribute,
not the NAME. I guess you're doing something weird with the name
of the attribute somewhere in your scripts, because the tools and the
library that come with OpenLDAP treat attribute names as case
insensitive
by default.
