Fedora directory users - Jan 2010 - [389-users] Making changes to the DN attribute of an LDAP object

Hi.


Is it possible to change the value of an LDAP object''s DN attribute?
I''d
like to be able to change from uppercase to lowercase, but I''m not sure
if
it''s supposed to work being the DN attribute and all.. My inital
attempts
have failed, so just thought I''d ask you guys if it''s supposed
to work in
the first place.

It''s not an actual attribute, it''s a "path" to the
LDAP entry. So in
order to change it you just need to rename the LDAP entry. Can you
give an example of the DN that you want to "change" ?

Thanks for your reply.

It''s actually as simple as changing DN
"uid=someuser,ou=users,dc=example,dc=org"
to "uid=SOMEUSER,ou=users,dc=example,dc=org" kind of thing.  But I
think I
got it wrong in the first place, because what I was trying to do was to make
the username uppercase, and by converting the value of "uid" attribute
to
uppcase I get just that. Thanks anyway.
