Sorry it’s been so long since my last entry. I’m working flat out taking a large MIIS/ILM project live and barely have a minute spare to wash, eat or sleep. My colleagues are starting to complain about the smell and my children barely recognise me any more. "Wait, I have a father? Really?"

I’ll post about lessons learned from this particular project once it's completely live, but right now I’d like to share an odd issue I’m experiencing with MIIS/ILM interfacing with iPlanet LDAP Directory. In the iPlanet directory the customer has added their own schema extensions and one of the attributes I need to manage is one of these home-grown additions. The iPlanet schema states that the attribute is a directoryString, yet MIIS/ILM swears blind that it is a Boolean and won’t let me export anything but a 1 or 0 to that field. It seems most odd. I wonder if the attribute is properly defined. Any ideas?
