Summary: Cannot add multiple values to RDN attribute

Initial Comment:
Consider the following LDIF:

dn: cn=foobar.example.com,ou=hosts,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: add
cn: foobar.example.com
cn: foobar
ipHostNumber: 1.2.3.4
objectClass: device
objectClass: ipHost

This describes an entry whose RDN attribute "cn" has multiple values. Although I can add this entry on the command line using ldapmodify, I have found no way to add the same entry using phpLDAPadmin. I have attached a screenshot that shows where I would expect an "add value" link.

I am requesting this feature because it is needed if one wants to properly administrate the Name Service Switch database "hosts" (i.e. the content of /etc/hosts) within an LDAP directory. Please refer to RFC 2307 (specifically object class ipHost) for the rationale.

My report refers to phpLDAPadmin 1.1.0.5 on Debian. I have not reported this as an issue on the Debian bugtracker because I believe it's not a bug but a missing feature of phpLDAPadmin.

Please take note of issue 1465324 submitted to the "Bugs" tracker which I think is closely related to my report.

Hi wurley,

did this made it into 1.1.0.6?. I'm using the ubuntu package which is at
1.1.0.5 and I'm not comfortable using cvs/svn versions on production, but
if this has been published in 1.1.0.6 I can switch to the source
distribution and install it myself.
