In this case I would suggest replacing
the cn=john doe with cn=John Doe.
Q2 : if we modify the cn only, should the RDN be modified too ?
(currently, ADS does modify the CN, but not the RDN)
The op is a Mod[R]DN, so absolutely, the most obvious thing that
*should* happen is to change the RDN. It's less obvious how to change
the cn attribute. E.g., if the delOldRDN flag was set, then I would
expect a complete change, but if not set, maybe the correct result is
to have both "cn=john doe" and "cn=John Doe" in the entry.
I don't see how possibly we can keep two values that are equals in the
same attribute, considering that cn is case insensitive. Otherwise, how
would you pull the right value when doing a search with "(cn=*oe)" ? Get
twice the same entry ?
Right, Ludo already pointed this out in his reply, my mistake.
