I'm trying to migrate from tivoli directory server  to 389
I have imported the non standard tivoli schema that i use to the 389 without any problem
I export the tivoli attributes,value in ldiff format and i perform a import
I 'm facing just a problem when i have a attribute but the value is set to white space
389 refused to insert them. In this sample i use standard  classesobjectClass: ieee802Device
objectClass: person,objectClass: top but it still refused to insert
See below the 2 samples

this is ok because description is filled
