JNDI and multiple databases

[Jeremy Mortis <mortis@ucalgary.ca>]

I am attempting to rewrite some working Perl code into Java using JNDI.

I can't get by the message:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: [LDAP: error code 32 - no such
object]

My LDAP instance is perhaps a bit unusual in that it is broken into
three databases:
ou=people,o=ucalgary.ca
ou=uidauthent,o=ucalgary.ca
o=ucalgary.ca

I can read stuff fine out of the o=ucalgary.ca database.  The error
occurs when I try to search ou=people,o=ucalgary.ca.  

My equivalent Perl program works fine.  If I put all objects in the same
database my JNDI code works fine.  It thus seems to be a JNDI/OpenLDAP
compatibility problem.

Anybody have any ideas?

Here is the relevant portion of the debug log.  The only thing that
seems unusual is the get_ctrls stuff.
