APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When externalIdAttributes is mapped to DistinguishedName.. for
  ExtId it returns DN of the entity in UPPER case which is
  expected.
  
  Before this fix when UniqueName is also passed in GET API call
  with normal case, GET API returns uniqueName in UPPER case
  also.
  
  
  After this fix when UniqueName is also passed in GET API call
  with normal case.. now it returns uniqueName in normal case
  simialr to the value that exists in LDAP repository.
  

Local fix

• A temp fix is installed on the pre-production server for this
  customer. We need an offical iFix suitable for production
  server.

  *                      to DN, uniqueName is passed in GET      *

  ****************************************************************
  When externalIdAttributes is mapped to DistinguishedName.. for
  ExtId it returns DN of the entity in UPPER case which is
  expected.
  when UniqueName is also passed in GET API call with normal
  case, GET API returns uniqueName in UPPER case also.
  

Problem conclusion

• To fix this, you need to set a new custom property
  "returnUniqueNameInNormalCaseIfExtIdMapToDN" with value
  "true". This will return uniqueName in normal case
  simialr to the value that exists in LDAP repository in GET API
  when externalIdAttributes is mapped to DistinguishedName and
  uniqueName is passed in GET API call.
  
  In order to set this property, use the following command:
  
  $AdminTask setIdMgrCustomProperty {-id <LDAP_repos_ID> -name
  returnUniqueNameInNormalCaseIfExtIdMapToDN -value true}
  
  Here "LDAP_repos_ID" is the repository id of the LDAP
  configured in VMM. Also save the configuration after running
  the previous command using:
  
  $AdminConfig save
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 7.0.0.29, 8.0.0.7 and 8.5.5.1.  Please refer to the
