Berkeley DB is the default backend. However, OpenLDAP still has to
support a hierarchical database somehow. This implies that there isn't
a simple one to one mapping between keys and values to get from LDAP
to Berkeley DB.
I don't know how it structures the LDAP data but I
doubt that you can
create the same UID twice (BDB is a simple key=value database, so it
should baulk at the same key).
s/UID/uidNumber/
I don't think there is anything in the LDAP standards that prevent
duplicate uidNumbers, unless uidNumber is an RDN.
Will test this out tomorrow.
