If the thrust of this is to make sure that SOMETHING gets displayed, surely that is something that the client, looking to display the "displayName" attribute, would be controlling, rather than ferkeling the server. The client would get both and if it finds the "displayName" atrribute is not set, just use the "cn" where it wanted the former. If all you want to do is maintain a consistency across the DIT then any (scripting) language that has an LDAP binding that allows one to query and set attributes in the objects would achieve what you want here - automated data entry. Of course, if you are trying to prevent users from modifying the "displayName" and force it be the "cn", then that's an attribute access issue. -- Kevin M.
