Hello,

We can't store any dual-byte(including UTF-8) string in "gecos" field which be declared in "nis.schema". But we need to store some Chinese information in it.

We store Chinese information by modifying the nis.schema from

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.2 NAME 'gecos' DESC 'The GECOS field; the common name' EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE )

to

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.2 NAME 'gecos' DESC 'The GECOS field; the common name' EQUALITY caseExactMatch SUBSTR caseExactSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 SINGLE-VALUE )

.

When we upgrade the openldap server, the modifed "nis.schema" would be replaced with a unmodified "nis.schema".

Our servers will be down, because there are some strings in database which conflicts to "nis.schema".

May you change the default schema of the "gecos" field and make it to be able to carry dual-byte string?

Thanks!
