Hi:After further digging I found the problem. There is an attribute in the cn=config entry and also in dse.ldif, called nsslapd-return-exact-case which controls whether the attribute names are returned as defined, or lowercased first. The manual says the default is 'off' and I'm sure I didn't turn it on, but on my server it was set 'on'. Turning it off solved my problem.
I am upgrading from DS4.16 to iPlanet DS5.1 and have run into a problem with the way attribute names are returned. If I use ldapsearch to get an entry from a DS4 server, it displays the attribute names in all lower case. Getting the same entry from a DS5.1 server shows the name in mixed case eg: objectClass instead of objectclass. This new behaviour is causing me grief with some of my scripts that expect the attribute names to be all lower case.
I have been unable to find any reference to this change in any of the docs. Is there a directory server parameter that will make the DS5.1 server return data in the old format? Any help greatly appreciated.
