Hi guys,
let's suppose we have an entry like :
dn: cn=john doe, ou=system
objectclass: person
cn: john doe
sn: john doe
Let's now suppose that we want to camel-case the cn to have an entry like :
dn: cn=John Doe, ou=system
objectclass: person
cn: John Doe
sn: john doe
Currently ADS does not support such a modification : it considers that
it's a modifcation of an entry on itself, and it's not allowed. (cn is
case insensitive, so basically, it's really a modification on itself).
Now, from the user PoV, this is a bit painful, because even if cn is
case insensitive, the user wants to see the DN as he provided it (after
the rename, he may expect dn: cn=John Doe, ou=system).
So
Q1 : should we allow such a rename ? (it will modify the RDN *and* the
attribute)
Q2 : if we modify the cn only, should the RDN be modified too ?
(currently, ADS does modify the CN, but not the RDN)
wdyt ?
