This actually goes right back to X.500(1988). The schema says that you can do exact matches but no other sort.
Again, I'm fine with strict interpretations of the RFCs being applied *by default* but there should be some way for me to override those interpretations.
Why are these parts of the LDAP schema hard-coded? Is there no way to specify the entire schema in a configurable format so that I could change this behavior for just my installation if I deem it appropriate?
