Garnering info on Domino LDAP

[Pete <pl...@oz...>]

Hi everyone,

This isn't specifically a perl-ldap issue (yet?), but I'd like to ask the 
list what experience people have had with ldap on the Lotus 
Domino servers.  R5, we are currently running 5.0 and 5.03.

I ask this because we syncronise address books between different 
exchange/notes environments via ldap using a product called 
MDDM.

The problem we are currently experiencing is one where values of 
an attribute are changed, say location=ACT to location=NSW, 
doing this on the Domino server creates a new entry in the 
directory, even with the same DN.  So it appears to us that the 
server sees that the object has changed, rather than the DN not 
chaging and doing a modification of the entry.

One thing I now have to do is whip up a script to test, add, modify 
and delete on the domino server through ldap to check that it's not 
a problem with the directory product, or with the Domino server.

If anyone has anything to offer, I'm happy to hear from you, off list 
might be best, I'm not sure something like this is really seen as On 
Topic (my apologies to the list owner/moderator)... but I thought 
since I'm going to do further testing using perl-ldap, I'd like to know 
if there is any issues with Domino others are aware of.

Thanks,


Pete.
