Attribute types in LDAP are not case-sensitive (ie "cn" == "CN"), and many
of the syntaxes used in typical attributes are also case-insensitive (ie
"chris ridd" == "Chris Ridd").

You ought to raise a bug against whatever bit of Apple code this is (LDAP
plug-in?) It isn't as if Apple doesn't have code around to do proper
case-insensitive compares of Unicode strings ;-)

Cheers,

Chris
