Adding a new object, samba 4.5.0 on the first DC creates a ldapObject with the attribute name CN in lower case. On the second DC samba via replication creates the object with upper case attribute name. root@dc1: # samba-tool ldapcmp --filter=whenChanged ldap://dc1 ldap://DC2 * Comparing [DOMAIN] context... * Objects to be compared: 12717 Comparing: 'CN=DC1,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=example,DC=net' [ldap://dc1] 'CN=DC1,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=example,DC=net' [ldap://DC2] Attributes found only in ldap://dc1: CN Attributes found only in ldap://DC2: cn FAILED Comparing: 'CN=RID Set,CN=DC1,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=example,DC=net' [ldap://dc1] 'CN=RID Set,CN=DC1,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=example,DC=net' [ldap://DC2] Attributes found only in ldap://dc1: CN Attributes found only in ldap://DC2: cn FAILED Comparing: 'CN=abc,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=net' [ldap://dc1] 'CN=abc,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=net' [ldap://DC2] Attributes found only in ldap://dc1: cn Attributes found only in ldap://DC2: CN FAILED ... snip ...
I am also experiencing the same issue on Version 4.5.0. Although it has nothing to with samba I am using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 RC2 (x86_64). Seeing the same lowercase and uppercase problem. It does not seem to interfere with samba functionality but needs to be tested throughly. * Result for [DNSFOREST]: FAILURE SUMMARY --------- Attributes found only in ldap://microdc.xxx.xxx: cn dc Attributes found only in ldap://sambadc.xxx.xxx: CN DC ERROR: Compare failed: -1
