Migrating from Sun DSEE & Boolean values question

[Simon Fraser <srf@sanger.ac.uk>]

Hi,

We're planning to migrate to OpenLDAP from Sun Directory Server. So far
the test setup works fine, with one potential problem.  Sun's directory
server treats boolean values as case-insensitive, while the RFC (and
OpenLDAP) require upper-case TRUE and FALSE values. 

Is there a way of forcing case insensitivity on boolean values with
OpenLDAP, so that any clients who are applying filters like "(foo=true)"
will continue to work? Or is the only way to maintain stats logging and
try to locate particular scripts on the machines that connect, and fix
each one in turn? I realise the former option is not RFC compliant, but
for me, it'll be very convenient to be permissive.

Thanks,
Simon.
