samba - Sep 2016 - replication upper-lower case

hi list,


If a new object was created, samba 4.5.0 on the first DC creates a ldapObject
with the attribute name CN in lower case.
On the second DC samba via replication creates the object with upper case
attribute name.

Is this a problem or can i ignore this?


root at dc1: # samba-tool ldapcmp --filter=whenChanged ldap://dc1 ldap://DC2

* Comparing [DOMAIN] context...

* Objects to be compared: 12717

Comparing:
'CN=DC1,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=example,DC=net' [ldap://dc1]

        CN

    Attributes found only in ldap://dc1:
        cn
    Attributes found only in ldap://DC2:
        CN
    FAILED

... snip ...

Welcome to the 'I have found a bug club'

Can you go here:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/

Register and then create a new bug report.

It doesn't seem to affect the general running of Samba, but it is a bug.
