Re: multiple names of an attribute returned incorrectly (ITS#2503)

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

As discussed previously in like reports, this is not indicative
of a bug in OpenLDAP Software but a bug in your usage of the
client.  That is, you should be asking for 'mail' as that is
the standard name for the attribute type in LDAP.  While the
OpenLDAP server is liberal in accepting 'rfc822Mailbox' as an
alias for 'mail', it is strict in what it returns.

This report will be closed.
