Hi,

I want to change the CN of users from 'Firstname
Lastname' to 'Lastname, Firstname'. Trying this with
LDIFDE gives ther error:

Add error on line 1: Not allowed on RDN
The server side error is "The attribute cannot be
modified because it is owned by the system."
0 entries modified successfully.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
