It is a mechanism for sharing attribute / value pairs among a group of entries so that an administrator has one place to change those attribute value pairs. The only place CoS gets involved with schema is when schema checking is on, when it will ensure the attribute / value pairs it provides are allowed to appear in the entry. I am at a loss to explain why changing the syntax from DirectoryString to IA5String would suddenly produce the results you were expecting. Are you restarting the server between changes to the schema files? -- Pete -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
