Re: [389-users] ldap_modify: Type or value exists

Hello Rajendra,

Sorry, could you clarify the problem some more?

It looks to me the server is doing the right thing...  The entry has 2 mail attr values:
dn: sn=201406020923,ou=People,dc=ind,dc=xyz,dc=com
mail: aaaaa@xyz.com
mail: bbbbb@xyz.com

And you are adding the same attribute value, which is supposed to be rejected by LDAP_TYPE_OR_VALUE_EXISTS.  Please note that mail has SYNTAX: IA5String, EQUALITY: caseIgnoreIA5Match.
add: mail
mail: CCCCC@xyz.com
mail: BBBBB@xyz.com

Am I missing something?
