Which RFC describes how attribute name collisions should be handled?


Boldly, I [snip] do better this time...

rfc2252 section 4 and 4.3 refer to X.501(93) for the data model.  The
upcoming revision of LDAPv3 will have one document which describes the
data model so you can get further without X.500.  The current draft is
<http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapbis-models-10.txt>.

BTW, names don't really refer to attributes.  A name is a convenient
spelling of some OID according to some schema, and it's the OID which
refers to an attribute (or object class or whatever).

I get it now.

Thank you, sir, for your excellent answer.
