Re: Ensure uniqueness over multiple attributes?

IMHO this does not work without adding all possible values to at least

How would attribute inheritance tie into this? I'm relatively free in modifying our ldap schema so making mailAlias SUP mail would be possible.

slapo-unique simply searches for an attribute type and value (should be eq-indexed). A SUP-ed attribute type also matches a search for all sub-types.

E.g. try searching with parent attribute 'name'.

Note: Depending on your clients and attributes used this might *not* be what you want.

In my LDAP directories for e-mail the value in 'mail' is always also present in e.g. 'mailLocalAddress' for which I have a unique constraint.
