This will allow you to do an LDAP search for uid=james or uid=jjones and get the same entry. If you want to use uid as the naming attribute for the DN, you will just have to pick one of the values. >Thank you. > >Darren > > >-- >Fedora-directory-users mailing list >Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com >https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users > > -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
