Hi List,
I need help with the following  ldap   issue , we are running
389-ds-base-1.3.7.5-24.el7_5.x86_64
-how to check if 389-DS is cfg to be case sensitive?
- how  to cfg the cn attribute  which is indexed in my DS   to be case 
sensitive ?
Sorry, you can't (shouldn't).  "cn" is a standard attribute with a predefined syntax.  
"cn" is used internally by the server for many things, and it is expected to be case insensitive.  
Making it case-sensitive could break things in ways that would be very difficult to troubleshoot.  You should 
never attempt to modify the server's core schema.  Especially "cn" - just look at all the entries 
under cn=config...
I completely agree with Mark here. You should probably define a new custom 
attribute instead that has the rules you need.

I also agree that changing a matching rule of a standard attribute is not a good idea.

In case you want to do SRCH with 'cn' being case sensitive you may use extensible syntax of the filter like:

   # search with 'cn' using its default equality matching rule (case
   insensitive)
   ldapsearch -LLL ... -b 'ou=people,dc=example,dc=com' '(cn=demo user)'
   dn: uid=demo_user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
   objectClass: top
   objectClass: nsPerson
   objectClass: nsAccount
   objectClass: nsOrgPerson
   objectClass: posixAccount
   uid: demo_user
   cn: Demo User
   displayName: Demo User
   legalName: Demo User Name
   uidNumber: 99998
   gidNumber: 99998
   homeDirectory: /var/empty
   loginShell: /bin/false

   # search with 'cn' using exact MR and the exact case of the 'cn' value
   ldapsearch -LLL -h localhost -p 38901 -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -w
   password -b 'ou=people,dc=example,dc=com' '(cn:caseExactMatch:=Demo
   User)'
   dn: uid=demo_user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
   objectClass: top
   objectClass: nsPerson
   objectClass: nsAccount
   objectClass: nsOrgPerson
   objectClass: posixAccount
   uid: demo_user
   cn: Demo User
   displayName: Demo User
   legalName: Demo User Name
   uidNumber: 99998
   gidNumber: 99998
   homeDirectory: /var/empty
   loginShell: /bin/false

   # the same search with exact MR but with a assertion value that
   differs from attribute value
   # returns no entry
   ldapsearch -LLL...-b 'ou=people,dc=example,dc=com'
   '(cn:caseExactMatch:=demo user)'


Note that if you are willing to us extensible search with exact MR, it would also be good to index 'cn' with this MR (else you will trigger unindexed search).
