Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSTUDIO-807:
---------------------------------------------
Hi,
if underscore was allowed in an attributeType name in 1.5.x, it must have been
a bug. In any case, it's not anymore the case. I'd like some evidence that we
ever accepted underscores in AttributeType names, though...
In the mean time, *none* of the standard AD AttributeTypes, I mean, *none*,
contain either an underscore, a dot, or a space (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms675090%28v%3dVS.85%29.aspx). The fact
that your users have created some new AttributeTypes with non-compliant names
just demonstrates how badly LDAP compliant can be AD.
Now, if you try to find another LDAP server support those forbidden chars in
AttributeNames, I wish you a good luck.
<rant>
In any case, we won't impair our code to support something that Microsoft has
deliberately made incompatible with the LDAP specification. Microsoft users
have to pay twice for their choice :
- the first time by paying an insane amount of money for their software
- the second time when they run away from Microsoft products just because they
are not good enough and have to transform their data to get back in a world of
compatibility and open standards.
