You can use either just attribute 'mail' as characteristic attribute for forming the RDN.

mail=jsmiths,<..rest of DN..> mail=johnsmiths,<..rest of DN..>

Or you could use so-called multi-valued RDNs:

cn=John Smiths+mail=jsmiths,<..rest of DN..> cn=John Smiths+mail=johnsmiths,<..rest of DN..>

Another approach is to use some attribute that is unique and is not ever going to change. The easiest way to be sure of this is to make up a value and put it in 'uniqueIdentifier'. That way you do not have problems with clashes and you never have to rename entries.
