Hi,
As said on the Apache Directory Users ML [1] [2] [3], RFC 4512 "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): Directory Information Models" clearly states that the name of an schema elements can only be composed of characters (a-z, A-Z), digits (0-9) and hyphens ('-').
Any other character, dot ('.') included is forbidden.
You should replace your dots in the naming of our schema elements by hyphens.
Regards,
Pierre-Arnaud

Hi,
Actually we are migrating Wnodws registry data to LDAP structure. In our current windows registry, some key name contains underscore, dot and space characters.
So we expect the same in LDAP structure and we cannot change dot,space,underscore characters to hypen because there many clients which are using this registry data. so is there any settings to allow dot,space in attribute name?
As per RFC, underscore character is also not allowed in attribute name, but in apached ds 1.5.x version I see underscore is supported in attribute name. so is there any things to be done to support dot, space in attribute name?

Hi,
if underscore was allowed in an attributeType name in 1.5.x, it must have been a bug. In any case, it's not anymore the case. I'd like some evidence that we ever accepted underscores in AttributeType names, though...
In the mean time, *none* of the standard AD AttributeTypes, I mean, *none*, contain either an underscore, a dot, or a space (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms675090%28v%3dVS.85%29.aspx). The fact that your users have created some new AttributeTypes with non-compliant names just demonstrates how badly LDAP compliant can be AD.
Now, if you try to find another LDAP server support those forbidden chars in AttributeNames, I wish you a good luck.
<rant>
In any case, we won't impair our code to support something that Microsoft has deliberately made incompatible with the LDAP specification. Microsoft users have to pay twice for their choice :
- the first time by paying an insane amount of money for their software
- the second time when they run away from Microsoft products just because they are not good enough and have to transform their data to get back in a world of compatibility and open standards.
</rants>
