Rails - Mar 2006 - ActiveLDAP handle uppercase attributes?

Does anyone know how to assign values to LDAP objects with upper cased 
attributes?  For example, you can normally do:

       user = User.new(@user)
       user.sn = params[:user][attr]

But what about the case where there is an attribute that looks like 
OXTimeZone?  You clearly can''t do:

       user = User.new(@user)
       user.OXTimeZone = params[:user][attr]

I''m trying to figure out what I need to look at in the ActiveLDAP code 
to find out what name it sets the method to for this attribute, but 
havn''t sorted it out yet and figured it might be worth asking.

Thanks,
Leah

It looks like the answer was to hack up a new lowercase version of the 
method for those cases, or at least, that''s my temporary hack (in 
lib/activeldap/base.rb):

     def define_attribute_methods(attr)
       #
       # Leah''s hack to deal w/uppercase attrs (converts entire thing
to
lc)
       #
       if attr =~ /^[A-Z].*$/
         @attr_methods[attr.downcase] = attr
       end

       if @attr_methods.has_key? attr
         return
       end
       aliases = Base.schema.attribute_aliases(attr)
       aliases.each do |ali|
         @attr_methods[ali] = attr
       end
     end
