Schema difficulties-Openldap 2.0.27 -> 2.3.34

[Scott Lacy <LACY_S@Mercer.edu>]

Hi all,

I'm attempting to migrate an openldap implementation from a 2.0.27 
server running the Red Hat Enterprise 3 rpm to a new box running the 
2.3.34 Fedora 7 rpm.  I'm a bit of an LDAP noob, but I've managed to 
account for most of the difficulties, but still have one I can't seem to 
get around:

There are a handful of users in the old database that have errors being 
migrated via ldif.  These users are erroring out in their uidNumber 
field.  These users have uidNumbers beginning with leading zeros,  for 
example, "0001111114".  I'm assuming that's a syntax no-no.  I believe 
uidNumber is one of the fields hardcoded into Openldap now (I don't see 
non-commented definitions for it in any of the schema files I have).  Is 
there a way to doctor the syntax for this field short of editing and 
compiling via source?  It is apparently important that the leading zeros 
be there, else I would just take them out.


Thanks,
