Thank your for your evaluation. BTW: Are you sure that
LdapDN.toString() is called (I've got no dev setup here at home, can't
check) - e.g. Eclipse shows all calls to Object.toString() if you're
displaying the Callers of LdapDN.toString().

I'll try that and see what I get (next year).

I'm not outside the server, I'm inside. ;-)
