I wonder if your version of openLDAP has mandatory schema checking. If 
so, it probably wants kitnEduPersonRegId to be a required attribute in 
order to serve as an RDN.

Work around is to alter the schema file so that kitnEduPerson is 
structural and subclasses inetOrgPerson (I suppose).

For Ldappc next rev, perhaps we should redo the delivered 
ldappcSubject.ldif so that it works with strict schema checking, e.g., 
by using uid for the RDN in kitn.
