[Kolab-devel] using givenName and sn for administrator/maintainer ldap objects

[Tobias Koenig]

Hi,

in the current version of kolab the given name and sure name
of maintainers and administrators is stored in the 'cn' attribute
of the ldap object.

That makes no sense IMHO because both objects are kolabInetOrgPersons,
so they can use the 'givenName' and 'sn' attributes for this purpose.

This would also make the kolab-webadmin code easier because you don't
have to merge/extract the name parts from 'cn' over and over again.

IIRC Martin mentioned that in future versions the cn should be an unique
identifier anyway, which is independend from the name, so why not
switching now?

Ciao,
Tobias
