[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA and sambaPwdLastSet

[Christopher Lamb]

Hi Rob

The users do have the sambaSamAccount ObjectClass.

Or to be more precise, some have sambasamaccount (all lower case), and some
have sambaSAMAccount (mixed case)

Are objectclasses case sensitive?

AFAICT the user needs the sambaSamAccount objectclass in order for this
to work. Is that the case?
