Another thing to consider when introducing this new environment variable:
Maybe we should also let it affect how the RDN value is interpreted/presented
to the application. I.e. whether the RDN attribute name is included in the
value or not. So when the value is zero, the RDN attribute name is included,
otherwise it is not.

** [tickets:#643] IMM: API that replaces SaNameT with SaStringT and
SA_IMM_ATTR_DN**
**Status:** review
**Milestone:** 4.5.FC
**Created:** Thu Nov 28, 2013 05:00 PM UTC by Anders Bjornerstedt
**Last Updated:** Thu Apr 03, 2014 12:23 PM UTC
**Owner:** Anders Bjornerstedt
The IMM service should provide an updated API where all use of the troublesome
SaNameT type is replaced by the SaStringT type or the SaConstStringT type #625.
Also needed is a new flag value for attribute definitions: SA_IMM_ATTR_DN.
Defining an attribute in an IMM class definition on the SaStringT type and
also setting the flag SA_IMM_ATTR_DN, will mean that the attribute is intended
to hold a value that should be a DN.
Other flags that make sense to also set on such an attribute definition where
applicable are:
SA_IMM_ATTR_RDN if this is the RDN attribute. Just as having SaNameT the
type of an RDN attribute indicates that the class is an association class,
having SaStringT and SA_IMM_ATTR_DN combined with SA_IMM_ATTR_RDN would
also indicate that this is an association class.
SA_IMM_ATTR_NO_DANGLING. Currently (OpenSAF 4.4) will only be allowed
on attributes of type SaNameT, but will of course be allowed also on
attributes of type SaStringT if the SA_IMM_ATTR_DN flag is also set.
All the other flags may also be used in combination with SA_IMM_ATTR_DN, with
the normal meaning.
