Re: ldapsearch return strings
I will send this question now the 3rd time:
Is nobody out there, who can comment on this ?
===============
I have done a migration from a Sun Directory Server 1.0 to Openldap 2.0.7
At that environment there are a lot of applications accessing this instance.
OpenLDAP 2.0.7 has one behavior that is differant to Sun Dir. Server, which
gives a lot of troubles:
( The Netscape Dir. Server 4.x behaves like the Sun Dir. !!!)
Examples:
OpenLDAP:
ldapsearch ... uid=* cn
dn: cn=...
cn: Surname Givenname
...
...
ldapsearch ... uid=* commonname ( as an alias to "cn" )
dn: cn=...
cn: Surname Givenname
...
...
the Sun- and Netscape Dir. give following results:
ldapsearch ... uid=* cn
dn: cn=...
cn: Surname Givenname
...
...
ldapsearch ... uid=* commonname ( as an alias to "cn" )
dn: cn=...
commonname: Surname Givenname
^^^^^^^^^^
...
...
As you see at the end, both, the Sun- and the Netscape Dir. Server
returns the same attribute name as the attribute name in the
filter not matter wether it is an alias attribiute or not.
Question:
Is it possible to change the behavior to that of the Sun- or Netscpe Dir. ?
BTW:
"cn" is an indexed attribute ( "index cn eq,sub ")
Thanks for any help !
