Hi again,

I have been trying to follow this procedure for replication conflicts regarding 
"nsds5ReplConflict", where I had the two account duplicates, but no matter 
what, I still get:

modifying rdn of entry 
"nsuniqueid=ffc68a41-86e71c6-71714816-fcf248a0+uid=janelle,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap_rename: Constraint violation
    additional info: Another entry with the same attribute value already exists 
(attribute: "uid")

When I am trying to run the modrdn (ldapmodify) command?  Which simply refuses 
to work. I have been at it for over a week now with no luck.  I think this is 
the last of my issues causing my replication problems. What caused this is that 
I do have multiple helpdesk personnel that had been updating user accounts. 
This process has been resolved, but we can't seem to remove the last few 
duplicates.

Any suggestions? Is there a missing step in conflict resolution perhaps?
these entries are already a result of conflict resolution, If you add the same 
entry simultaneously on two servers (meaning add it on A and add it on B 
(before B has received the replicated add from A), there exist two entries with 
the same dn, which is not possible. So conflict resolution does not arbitrarily 
throw one away, but renames it and leaves it to the admin, which on to keep. So 
you should have one entry
uid=janelle,... and one nsuniqueid=nnnn+uid=janelle,....
The error you get is coming from 'uid uniqueness'. Like ludwig mention,  it 
exists duplicated entries  with both of them 'uid=janelle'.
'uid uniqueness' plugin prevents you to do a direct MODRDN on one of them 
because, it finds duplicated 'uid=janelle'.
you can delete the nsuniqeid=nnnn entry to get rid of it.

There is a request to hide these nsuniqueid+uid entries from regular searches, 
it will be in a next release of 389

But everything I try to delete fails.  Is there a procedure in 389-DS I can 
read for this? Maybe I am missing an option in ldapmodify? I am happy to 
delete, if only it would let me.
hm, it should be straightforwrd:
ldpapmodify -D <user which has permissions to delete> ..
dn: nsuniqueid=ffc68a41-86e71c6-71714816-fcf248a0+uid=janelle,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: delete

if it fails, what is the error you get ?
