SYMPTOMS
Dynamic multivalued string attributes do not support duplicate entries. For example, storing the values "1" "2" "2" will on read only return "1" "2". In other words, entries with the same value are only stored once.



CAUSE
This is by design.



RESOLUTION
If you change the Schema of the Membership Directory so that the isSearchable attribute of the multivalue attribute entry is set to 0, this allows duplicate entries to be stored in dynamic multivalued string attributes.

The following example code shows how to do this for the sample attribute named MultiValueAttribute. Dim adsLDAP Dim adsMembersContainer Dim adsMember Dim I

' Connect to the members container Set adsLDAP = GetObject("LDAP:") Set adsMembersContainer = adsLDAP.OpenDSObject( _       "LDAP://" & g_strLDAPServerName & ":" & g_strLDAPPortNumber & "/o=" & g_strLDAPOrganizationName & _        "/ou=Admin/cn=Schema", _        g_strAdministratorDN, g_strAdministratorPassword, 0)

' Get the member information and attributes Set adsObject = adsMembersContainer.GetObject("attributeSchema", "cn=MultiValueAttrib") adsObject.Put "isSearchable",0 adsObject.SetInfo

' Perform cleanup Set adsMember = Nothing Set adsMembersContainer = Nothing Set adsLDAP = Nothing
