Full_Name: Michael Ströder Version: RE24 OS: OpenSUSE Linux 10.3 URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (84.163.107.210)

Using OpenLDAP 2.4.10 (RE24) I'm trying to explicitly delete a value of attribute postalAddress:

--------------------------------------------------------------- dn: cn=Fred Feuerstein,ou=Testing,dc=stroeder,dc=de changetype: modify delete: postalAddress postalAddress: zeile 1$zeile 2$zeile 3 -

---------------------------------------------------------------

But this results in an error:

modifying entry "cn=Fred Feuerstein,ou=Testing,dc=stroeder,dc=de" ldapmodify: Inappropriate matching (18) additional info: modify/delete: postalAddress: no equality matching rule

But postalAddress is declared in the schema like this:

( 2.5.4.16 NAME 'postalAddress' DESC 'RFC2256: postal address' EQUALITY caseIgnoreListMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreListSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.41 )

If the equality matching rule is not implemented it should not be announced in the subschema. The server should not simply report what might have been defined in some RFC.

Ciao, Michael.
