Re: attributes with empty values
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I made a mistake.
I changed the schema but did't put it in the directory that ldap reads.
Sorry about that. OctetString does accept empty values without problem.
It seems then that IA5string' syntax does not allow for empty values.
I couldn't find a specification for IA5 string. In some rfc it says 'it's the
representation of the string itself' but doesn't list what form the string
may have.
Sorry to bother you with this.
