Hello,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this kind of information, so if I am mistaken, I apologize..
I am quite new to LDAP, however I have used some applications that require it and am now a semi-decent openLDAP administrator. So, as a next step, I am trying to program an address book with an LDAP backend. I have noticed that usually the cn is used as a dn when working with address book entries. This seems to lead to an interesting conflict which I need to resolve before I begin to program:
What can be done when one has to import 2 people with an identical name?
This seems to be irrelevant, since the chances of an identical name are small, but I for one know 2 people with the same first and last ames. Lets face it: names are not MD5 hashes ;-)..
I guess someone must have thought this over before.. how oes one resolve this problem cleanly? Does one use another property? f so, which one?
I am aware that this might be a very silly question, but I have een wondering about this for a few days now and google doesn't eem to satisfy my need for a solution.. :-).
Thanks in advance, Thomas De Reyck
