RFC 2253 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3): UTF-8 String
Representation of Distinguished Names
Section "3. Parsing a String back to a Distinguished Name" says the
following :
distinguishedName = [name] ; may be empty string
name = name-component *("," name-component)
name-component = attributeTypeAndValue *("+" attributeTypeAndValue)
attributeTypeAndValue = attributeType "=" attributeValue
but i do not know if you can use several times the same attributeType,
might be in the RFC but (sorry) I do not have the time to read through
the full RFC.
If there is no clear message that says types cannot be equal in ...
name = name-component *("," name-component)
then I think its allow. There are some revision documents from the LDAPBIS working
group that might mention something. Here is the homepage for the charter:
