Ok, that gave me a hint. I saw in the Advanced Properties, that the naming attribute was set to uid=myname and this is the first entry of the dn Ok so I changed (via gui to test) the naming attribute to the cn value. Now I was able to change the uid entry to lower case and then switch back the naming attribute to uid. Now the new dn contains the new - lower case - uid. But how do I change the naming attribute in ldapmodify? In the logs I see that is an entry: [16/Jan/2006:18:36:14 +0100] conn=20 op=17 MODRDN dn="uid=NSogehts,ou=People, dc=daheim,dc=weil" newrdn="cn=Nur Sogehts" newsuperior="(null)" which is the switch for dn: uid -> cn and [16/Jan/2006:18:36:59 +0100] conn=20 op=42 MODRDN dn="cn=Nur Sogehts,ou=People, dc=daheim,dc=weil" newrdn="uid=nsogehts" newsuperior="(null)" the swicth back dn: cn -> uid so now is the entry something like this? dn: uid=NSogehts,ou=People,dc=daheim,dc=weil changetype: modify replace: newrdn newrdn: cn=Nur Sogehts - > > To be honest I'm not sure what will happen if you change the uid > attribute on the FDS side. > It may still confuse the sync code.

No. It seems if I can go the following way: - change naming attribute uid -> cn - change uid lo lower case - change naming attribute back cn -> uid > > I wonder if you could post a complete example entry here (the LDIF) please > ? > > > > > > > > -- > Fedora-directory-users mailing list > Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users -- =========================================== Hartmut Woehrle EMail: hartmut.woehrle at mail.pcom.de
