 NAME
slapo-emptyds - Remove Empty values from Directory String attributes
Overlay to slapd

 SYNOPSIS
ETCDIR/slapd.conf

 DESCRIPTION
Some non-conformant clients will provide empty values for Directory String
attributes with certain operations. This overlay makes empty values acceptable
for the Directory String syntax and will adjust all operations to make sure
these values are never actually stored in the database.



 dn: cn=alex,cn=people,dc=example,dc=org
 changeType: add changeType: add
 sn: <empty> --> sn: blah
 sn: blah

 dn: cn=alex,cn=people,dc=example,dc=org
 changeType: modify changeType: modify
 add: sn --> add: sn
 sn: <empty> sn: blah
 sn: blah

 dn: cn=alex,cn=people,dc=example,dc=org
 changeType: modify changeType: modify
 delete: sn --> delete: sn
 sn: <empty> sn: blah

 changeType: modify changeType: modify
 replace: sn --> replace: sn
 sn: <empty> sn: blah

 CONFIGURATION
This overlay has no specific configuration, however in order to ensure that it
does what it needs to do, it should be the last overlay configured so it will
run before the other overlays.
