Re: ADAM Configuration Partition (LDIF Modify)

Hi

you might need to take extra care with msDS-Other-Settings as it
is one of those multi-valued attributes that use value assertions
(Name=Value).

What I do is dump the entire attribute, make the modification
that I want (on a particular name, value pair) and then do a replace on the
entire attribute. Failing to do so may replace the multivalue attribute with
just your (single) modifcation.
