I have been working with updating the attributeType 'uid' to conform the a "caseExactMatch" setting. I understand that this does agree with RFC standards, but this Directory Server will not be interacting with any ldap applications. The primary purpose is user authentication.

 I must be missing something on how the Directory Server (fedora-ds) defines the attributes. I was under the impression I could just update the 00core.ldif entry and the new matching rule would then be applied. This has proven not to be the case, I think it might have to do with the server interacts with the plugins or the CoS which needs to be addressed.

Anyone who could educate me on a method to enforce case sensitivity for the attribute uid, it would help me out greatly. I have read everything I can find on the subject and it just does not seem to be documented (not in a direct manner anyway).

This is how the attribute appears in the 00core.ldif after I attempted to change the attribute definition but it does not seem to have any effect.

attributeTypes: ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1 NAME ( 'uid' 'userid' ) DESC 'Standard LDAP attribute type' EQUALITY caseExactMatch SUBSTR caseExactSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 X-ORIGIN 'RFC 1274' )

Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the correct direction, I must be making this more difficult then it needs to be.
