I've installed Apache DS 1.02 and tried importing an ldif file 
containing X.509 certificates.

This fails with "usercertificate;binary not found in attribute registry!".

Removing the ;binary suffix results in the certificate being stored 
successfully in the directory as binary.

The problem is that clients are still searching with the ;binary 
suffix.  The clients are long-time deployed, embdded and this isn't 
something that's configurable.

Curiously the schema browser (Apache Directory Studio) describes the 
usercertifcate attribute as "RFC2256: X.509 user certificate, use ;binary".

Am I missing something?  Is there a workaround or does this get fixed in 
1.5?

Thanks,
Chris
