Q.
In the NWDir ActiveX Control, the control thinks that a Generational Qualifier attribute can only have 7 characters, but you can set a value up with 8 characters using NWAdmin. Is this new? any way around it?
A.
You are right about a Generational Qualifier having 8 characters. According to the schema definition, it is:
Constraints DS_NONREMOVABLE_ATTR DS_PUBLIC_READ DS_SINGLE_VALUED_ATTR DS_SIZED_ATTR (1..8) DS_STRING_ATTR DS_SYNC_IMMEDIATE
This has been verified as a bug in the NWDir control. Novell's ActiveX Engineering group is working on fixing this.
