[389-users] Re: how to configure cn attribute case sensitive

Distinguished name is already used (dn).

I'd probably choose something more like corpCn or mycn or something like that. nrcCn maybe?

> Sorry, you can't (shouldn't). "cn" is a standard attribute with a predefined syntax. "cn" is used internally by the server for many things, and it is expected to be case insensitive. Making it case-sensitive could break things in ways that would be very difficult to troubleshoot. You should never attempt to modify the server's core schema. Especially "cn" - just look at all the entries under cn=config...
