SYMPTOMS
========

If you configure "attribute flow" to flow attributes, and you change the case
sensitivity of an attribute, the attributes do not flow

CAUSE
=====

This behavior occurs because the attribute zcDsAttributeFlowIsCaseExact is not
set to True on the Management Agent. You cannot change this setting on the
Management Agent.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this issue, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to "Microsoft Metadirectory Service",
  and then click "MMS Forms Designer".

2. On the File menu, click Open, and then click Form Directory.

3. Click the following form set:

  MA=MAName
  Dsaname=DSAObject
  ou=applications
  dc=domainname
  dc=com

4. Click Open.

5. Click macfgoptions1a.frm from Files List.

6. Click Edit.

7. From the Tools dialog box, click Check box and drag it to the location where
  you want it on the form.

8. In caption box, type "Flow case" (without the quotation marks).

9. In X.500 Attribute, type "zcDsAttributeFlowIsCaseExact" (without the
  quotation marks).

10. In Matching Value, type "True" (without the quotation marks).

11. Click to select the "Default radio button" check box.

12. On the Formset menu, click Save.

It is recommended that you save the templates to the working directory after
making this case to the formset on the directory.
