Hi,
I am using ADS version 1.5.2.
In the meantime I performed a network-analyses with WireShark. It turnet out,
that Apache-DS returns case-sensitive distinguishednames.
So the Java/Spring-implementation performes the conversion to lower-case.
ok, makes sense. Thanks for having checked !

What is the exact problem you have ?
I am developing a program, which reads some configuration-objects via LDAP from
Apache-DS.
E.g. ProductId=ABC, dc=siemens, dc=com
Internally I map the configuration on a Hashmap-interface. So far so good.
If another component queries for the item 'ProductId=ABC' I lowercase the query
to 'productid=ABC' and everything is fine.
But I have another component that calls BeanUtils.copyProperties on my
HashMap-interface and performes the queries on the result ...
So this is more an application-internal problem, but I thought LDAP supports
case-sensitive distinguished names.
(At least the Apache-Studio displays case-sensitive Distinguished-Names).
Apache Directory Server will return the DN as it ha been stored. For
instance, if you inject a dn like :
ProductID=ABC, dc=siemens,dc=com,
you should get it back with the very same casing.
Which version of apache DS are you using ? (some older versions did not
correctly stored the DN as provided).
Thanks !
