Was going to reply but Michael beat me to it. Reiterating all the points Michael made. There is no good reason to use memberUid or uniqueMember in LDAP, both of these schema elements are deeply flawed.

thanks to both of you of bringing this up once more.

I was always intending to ask what the original use case for groupOfUniqueNames actually was as I totally fail to see the point in the uniqueMember attributes.

I see lots of people using it just because "oh yeas of course we want to have unique members".
