Hi, i apologize that i am revisiting this topic yet again but as we found out, double quoted distinguished names are no longer possible in 1.2.0. We initially discovered the problem for the aliasedobjectname class but it later turned out its a fault with double quoted dns in general and the schema violation we got for aliasedobjectname was because a doublequoted dn always leads for some bizare reason to the creation of an attribute with the double quoted part as the attr/value pair, so the schema violation was effect rather than cause.. we are also fairly certain they worked prior to this as we initially did some tests with 1.1.0, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 without encountering into any problems with this. I was told in another thread that the double quoted syntax is deprecated and that escapes should be used instead. Is it then safe to assume that double quoted style will not be fixed (or at least have extremely low priority)? We have some clients who sometimes give us LDIFs for adding to the directory and they prefer the double quoted syntax as more easily readable. I can write convert script for them easily enough to handle the obvious cases but I won't go through the effort if there is a chance this will be fixed one minor version down the road.
