Hallo everyone,
I have a question connected with Winsync from Windows NT.
When I do the replication (works fine now!) I recieve all Users and the uids
in capital letters. Now I want to change them into lower case.
ldapmodify refuses to change, and when I try to change it by the gui (not the
best way with about 2000 users.... but ok for a test :) , I get the message
"Unkown error with naming attribute" and in addition the entrydn and the uid
were changed, but the
dn: uid=....
Hi, this sounds interesting. I think it may be simply passing through
the character case it gets from NT.
The reason you can't change the uid value is that it's part of the DN (a
distinguished attribute).
If you changed it you'd be changing the DN which is equivalent to
renaming the entry, and that
has to be done with the MODDN LDAP operation rather than the regular MOD
operation.
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. Perhaps we should understand a)
where exactly the upper case
is coming from and b) if and how it can be fixed in the sync code or in
NTDS.
I wonder if you could post a complete example entry here (the LDIF) please ?
