Now it seems to be the case that, with a user entry in OpenLDAP as
described above, getpwnam("james") will look for an entry such that the
its uid attribute takes the value "james". I.e. if the value of uid is,
say, "James" then it will be ignored. Which, following the discussion
above, doesn't fit my goal.
The "uid" attribute is explicitly defined to be case insensitive in RFC1274, see section 9.3.1 "userid". This is reflected in the OpenLDAP core schema:
#attributetype ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1
# NAME ( 'uid' 'userid' )
# DESC 'RFC1274: user identifier'
# EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
# SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
# SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{256} )
