Server Ignores Case Sensitive Syntax When Normalizing DN Attributes (4630941)

If you are using LDAP naming services, creating automount path names which are the same except for case will result in non-unique path names. The directory server does not allow creation of entries where the naming attribute is defined with a case-sensitive syntax and an entry already exists with the same name, but different case. For example, if entry attr=foo,dc=mycompany,dc=com exists, the server will not allow creation of attr=Foo,dc=mycompany,dc=com. A side effect of this problem is when LDAP naming services are used, automount path names have to be unique regardless of their case.


Note -

It is not possible to have /home/foo and /home/Foo paths.


Workaround: None.
