Hi,
Maybe I don't understand but, I'm looking at § 8.2.4.1 in this document : http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/schema.html
The goal is to create an attributetype called "myUniqueName" which is unique. With the last definition of this attributetype :
attributetype ( 1.1.2.1.1 NAME 'myUniqueName' DESC 'unique name with my organization' SUP name )
How can openldap guess that we cant a unique attributetype ?
I don't see anything in the document you refer to that implies that slapd will enforce uniqueness on the attribute. It only states that organisations may maintain a unique ID (but does not state how).
Isn't there a SINGLE-VALUE missing at the end of the description ?
Uniqueness is orthogonal to being multi-valued.
Ok, I didn't quite understand the meaning of SINGLE-VALUE, I see now.
But look at § 8.2.4.1 : in the first example, SINGLE-VALUE is specified and not in the second example. Is this because "name" is already single-valued ?
name is defined as a multiple-valued attribute in standard-track specifications.
