Dear List,
i am trying to reenable an old application
that stores entries in some circumstances
twice. Lets say facsimileTelephoneNumber
with two entries that are equal.
facsimileTelephoneNumber[0] = +00 12345 43210
facsimileTelephoneNumber[1] = +00 12345 43210
Thats not a bug, its more a feature.
Sounds flawed as a feature, and in contrast with specifications of
LDAP.
My understanding of this behavior is to have an
organisation and a home facsimile number.
By the way, to change this i searched for an attribute that is
used as - lets say - homefacsimileTelephoneNumber like
homeTelephoneNumber.
But i didnt found similar attribute. Which one would be suitable?
So, the old used server was a 2.0.x release.
I am trying to use it with openldap 2.1.x
(OS X 10.3 shiped), now.
Is it no more possible to at equal entries into
a multivalue attribute ?
No.
Did i understand you - the specifications forbids this, right?
I get errors with different applications
like
ldap_add(): Add: Type or value exists
because you're adding duplicate values.
or
inappropriate matching
because the attribute has no appropriate matching rule to compare
values.
Both warnings happen when i try to add duplications.
I appreciate any help.
Fix your application(s) and your data.
To do this i must first evaluate where exactly the problem is (done)
and look for alternatives (not done).
Thanks
