Add feature to replace hidden attribute
---------------------------------------
Key: DIRSTUDIO-600
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-600
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: studio-ldapbrowser
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Environment: Directory Studio 1.5.1, Windows, Java 1.6.0_11
Reporter: Petteri Stenius
The "New Attribute" editor always results in "changetype: add". Sometimes it is
useful to specify "changetype: replace".
Use case: Password reset
Password reset with Active Directory or ADAM is difficult without replace.
Active Directory and ADAM always hides userPassword from all search results,
and userPassword will never show up in the Entry Editor. Because of this I
cannot use "Edit Value" to replace the password value.
The best option seems to be to use New Attribute, which results in error 20
(attributeOrValueExists).
The working option, which is rather difficult, is to create a ldif script to
execute.
