My instinct is to create the directory using entries like
dn: cn=J Soap, o=BT plc, c=gb
<lots of other attributes>
The problem is that Names and initials are not unique (we employ 130K people
and have lots of clashes). Assuming that entries were always distinct what
(if anything) would slapd do if I added an entry with an existing DN
(refuse, create a new entry, overwrite the existing one).
I am proceeding on the assumption that I must disambiguate the DN by
introducing extra attributes, e.g:
dn: uid=<unique code>, cn=J Soap, o=BT plc, c=gb
The trouble is that this makes DNs ugly and I hate it, is there a better
way?
