Yes that does help. Thank you. So now then based on our understanding here, do you agree then that the best solution here is to update the schema and then make sure the data is normalized, via export/import aka slapcat/slapadd, and subsequent data manipulations (assuming the feasibility) as needed?
As long as it's not an RFC defined schema, then yes, I would suggest modifying it to suit your needs and then exporting/importing the data. However, I would keep this in mind for any applications you're developing if they will be using any RFC defined schema that do not have matching rules defined to ensure they can handle this case correctly.
Thus I'd consider any attribute type description with non-binary syntax but without EQUALITY matching rule to be worth an errata for this RFC.
It's a real pity that we didn't manage to resurrect ldapext WG. This would be also a useful work item.
Ciao, Michael.
