Case-insensitive uniqueness of LDAP attribute names

Carol Wapshere 8 years ago in UNIFYBroker/Microsoft Identity Manager updated by anonymous 7 years ago 2

Just in case anyone else makes the same silly mistake as I did:


IdB 5.1 and MIM Sync. Adapter was populated, MA created fine, but then got a stopped-extension-dll-exception on the Full Import (full event message below).


The problem was I had done some rename and other transformations which ended up with some fileds with the same name but different casing - FIELDNAME and fieldName. Idb accepted it, and interestingly MIM also accepted it when creating the MA. It was only on running the Import I got an error.

Under review

Thanks for posting this Carol. The LDAP specification does indicate that attribute names are case-insensitive, and as such it would be helpful if Identity Broker enforced this on adapter schemas. I've created a backlog item to address this.
