There is apparently an schema file that you can include in your OpenLDAP configuration to
define the AD schema. From an old thread on the subject:
[...]
slapd requires part of AD schemas in order to operate back-ldap
properly. Thus write a private schema, providing required attribute
types and object classes.
The MSUser schema in OpenLDAP master may be useful for this.

If you want the attribute to stop being passed in upper case, fix your
schema. Period, end of story.
That means I need to define everything again? Both in AD and Slapd?
Either I missed something or this is very laborious.
And there is realy no setting to disable this behaviour?
The setup where I need this is a simple DMZ (tls enforcing) proxy.
