I wonder why olcDatabase needs the "{1}" when olcDatabase is a single- valued attribute. I understand that "olcDatabase={1}mdb" is needed for ordering the databases within cn=config, But why is the "{1}" repeated for the actual attribute?
It is a "naming attribute" and it has to be present in the entry as per the RFC451x series[0].
[0]. e.g. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4512#section-2.3.1
Actually it's not explained clearly there: I had been looking for "brace" and "curly", and it only talks about string length to be specified using curly braces...
Hi Ulrich, you said you understand why the {1} exists (keep the entries ordered under their parent, look up "X-ORDERED 'SIBLINGS'" for details) but don't understand why that exact value has to be in the entry (because it is a naming attribute - as defined in the RFCs), now you're asking why it exists again? You'll have to explain what you actually mean if it's neither of the above.
