These attributes are derived from attribute 'name', so they get
Directory String syntax (like most LDAP attributes). Directory String
in LDAPv3 takes a non-empty UTF-8 string. Maybe your attributes are
Latin-1, and your old server either is an LDAPv2 server (LDAPv2
character sets were a complete jungle) or does not check the syntax? If
so the correct fix is to convert to UTF-8. However maybe that breaks
your current applications, if they expect Latin-1... (You could hack
the schema to use another syntax, but that easily becomes a maintenance
nightmare and could have compatibility problems of its own.)
