ldappasswd in OPENLDAP 2.0.7



Hi

I found a small incompatibility in clients/tools/ldappasswd
between 2.0.7 and 1.x.x .
It is very trivial but people (including me :-) can
be confused very much.

The old version (1.x.x), you can type "user" DN including
lower case characters in the ldappaswd operand.
But in 2.0.7 you must type "user" in upper case characters.


ldappasswd  [-A] [-a oldPasswd] [-C] [-D binddn] [-d debu-
       glevel] [-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost] [-n] [-p ldapport] [-S]
       [-s newPasswd]  [-v] [-W] [-w passwd] [-O security-proper-
       ties] [-I] [-Q] [-U username] [-x] [-X authzid]  [-Y mech]
       [-Z[Z]] [user]
               ^^^^^^
	
For example, under tests/scripts/test010-passwd situation.
(omitted port and host operands)

ldappasswd -S -W -D "cn=Manager, o=University of Michigan, c=US" \
    "cn=sha,o=University of Michigan, c=US"

does not work (was worked with OPENLDAP 1.x.x).

instead,

ldappasswd -S -W -D "cn=Manager, o=University of Michigan, c=US" \
    "CN=SHA,O=UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, C=US"

works!

It may be caused by rewritten code using
ldap_extended_operation() with RFC3062,
but ldappasswd does not change case by itself.

I hope the next version will fix it.
