Hi,

Maybe I don't understand but,  I'm looking at § 8.2.4.1 in this document : http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/schema.html

The goal is to create an attributetype called "myUniqueName" which is unique. With the last definition of this attributetype :

attributetype ( 1.1.2.1.1 NAME 'myUniqueName'                DESC 'unique name with my organization'                SUP name )

How can openldap guess that we cant a unique attributetype ?

Isn't there a SINGLE-VALUE missing at the end of the description ?

It's just talking about the name of the attribute, not the attribute value.

SINGLE-VALUE means attributes of this type are restricted to a single value, nothing about uniqueness.

Please have a read of doc/rfc/rfc4512.txt at your leisure.
