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:
