["Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-807?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13260476#comment-13260476 ] 

Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot commented on DIRSTUDIO-807:
--------------------------------------------------

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
