> The server is working, but this is pure luck !
> When we add some attribute, like ObjectClass, the values are added into it caseSensitive.
> For instance, adding 'person' and 'PERSON' is just adding two values into the attribute.
> So far, so good. Now, we have many places in the server where wo do case sensitive comparizon on suposely case insensitive values (like for objectclasses). For instance, in SchemService :
> ...
>     private int getSubentryTypes( Attributes subentry ) throws NamingException
>     {
>         int types = 0;
>         
>         Attribute oc = subentry.get( "objectClass" );
>         
>         if ( oc.contains( "accessControlSubentry" ) ) <<<--------------- This is DAMN WRONG !!!
> ...
> At this point, I suspect the 1.0.0 version is not amendable. We must fix it in 1.5, using the MatchingRules to manage comparizons on attributes.
> I hope I'm totally wrong, but I'm really scared... It looks like you go to the doctor wor that little red spot on your skin, and it turns out you have a hopeless cancer ...
