| RFC 2253 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3): UTF-8 String
Representation of Distinguished Names
Section "3. Parsing a String back to a Distinguished Name" says the
following :
distinguishedName = [name] ; may be empty string
name = name-component *("," name-component)
name-component = attributeTypeAndValue *("+" attributeTypeAndValue)
attributeTypeAndValue = attributeType "=" attributeValue
but i do not know if you can use several times the same attributeType, might
be in the RFC but (sorry) I do not have the time to read through the full
RFC.
Regards,
Jerome
