Well, that's the problem.
The server software I use (more specific gerrit) uses the string
in the database and performs a case sentitive compare
in order to authenticate the user when committing changes (you can
only commit changes which include your email account).
Because "example@googlemail.com"
is not "Example@googlemail.com"
it fails.
You can add multiple email accounts. But this does not work as
ldap stops you, because in it's opinion it already exists.
LDAP understands then "Example" == "example" and won't let you
create it.
The gerrit devs (if I recall correctly) argued that this behavior
is intentional as due to the standard, mails can be case sensitive
and get to different recipients.
Now I'd like to know if it possible to modify the scheme that way
so that mail works case sensitive (because that's also what the
standard says).
Or if there is a way to force the creation of entries with the
"same" value
Thanks in advantage.
