Re: Potential bug (schema or ldap add?)
I thank you for your answers!
I'll check again, as you say, once the schema is allowed to be modified at
run-time, and won't open up a trouble ticket for the moment (unless you
some developer would like it for their records).
>From what I understand, the equality rule does affect how the information
is stored and so this is more a question of "what I should NOT be doing"
;)
Thank you very much,
Andrew Seguin
ps: about the modified schema: I agree in general, however this is for an
internal testlab (where we are not testing LDAP ;) ), and I want the
ability to allow our testers (who have little to no knowledge of LDAP) to
easily modify their parameters, which happens when the equality rule is in
place.
