[Evolution] LDAP update with Evolution

[David Kmoch <David Kmoch vslib cz>]

Searching through history of this list I've found mail from Tony
Earnshaw giving some example on subject. I just wonder if it's
legal to have different 'cn' value in distinguishedName and in 'cn'
entity?

Why I'm asking - with my Evo 1.4.5 + OpenLDAP 2.1.22 config I
find it impossible to implement such  behavior. When I try to
change Name/Surname with Evo (or just anything Evo will save
in cn entry), I get an error message. Debugging slpad I get this 

slapd: entry failed schema check: value of naming attribute 'cn' is not present in entry

Updating other entries works normally.
