[389-users] Schema SYNTAX question for 389.

Hello,

The uid attribute referenced in 01common.ldif shows as having syntax of.
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 or case insensitive which is what I want.

However memberUid referenced in 10rfc2307.ldif shows as having syntax of.
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 or case sensitive which is cramping my
style a bit and leading to inconsistencies in the returns of the
groups command amongst other things.
For example I may have a user uid=joe_doe and he is listed in the posixGroup
cn=celtics as memberUid: Joe_Doe
and listed in the posixgroup
cn=cavs as memberUid: joe_doe.
He will only be returned as being a member of cavs and not celtics
when I use the groups command.
My belief is that this is do to
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 setting for memberUid.
Sound about right?

I am curious to know if this is configurable?  Can I modify the syntax
for memberUid to be case insensitive as uid is by switching the SYNTAX
from.
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 (case sensitive)  to
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 (case INsensitive) ?

What are the repercussions on the various groups/users I have already
existing in the directory?
Will I have to delete and recreate my indexes if I do do this?

thx
