Good morning Tridge! Thank you for your question regarding AD attributes. I have created case SRX090601600044 for you and one of my colleagues will be in touch with you shortly. In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding the process, please feel free to email me directly.

We would like to know how to work out which attributes in AD are uniquely indexed. We know that attributes like samAccountName, objectGUID and objectSID are all unique. So if you try to create the following two records using LDAP: dn: CN=test1,OU=User2,DC=vsofs8,DC=com sAMAccountName: test1 objectClass: user dn: CN=test1,OU=User3,DC=vsofs8,DC=com sAMAccountName: test1 objectClass: user then windows AD implementation will return LDAP_ERR_ALREADY_EXISTS for the second one, presumably because samAccountName is a unique attribute. This makes sense, as you don't want two users with the same account name. What we can't work out is how to find the list of unique attributes. We can't find anything in the schema that tells us an attribute is unique. What part in the schema gives us that? Or is it somewhere outside the schema?
