RE: Simple Paged Results Extension - SOLVED.

[Ben Lentz <BLentz@channing-bete.com>]

1. I needed 'database bdb' instead of 'database ldbm' to get the simple
paged results extension to work.
2. 'database bdb' does not work if 'suffix ""', however 'suffix ""' works if
'database ldbm'.

I would be nice if either 'suffix ""' worked regardless of the backend
database (i.e. this is a bug), or if 'suffix ""' was completely unsupported
and didn't work ever.

Thanks so much for the help, Pierangelo Masarati!

The ldif is fine; with bdb I'm pretty sure it works
if you set the suffix to "dc=com"; I haven't been
playing with suffix "" for a while, so it might be
broken, AFAIK, but sure you don't need it for a
regular database.

I suggest you file an ITS about this, anyway.

Is there something wrong with the way I'm compiling db 4.2.52 or openldap
2.2.5? I swear I've seen others who have been able to get this working. It's
also a little troubling that 'DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found'
shows up no where, but perhaps this is a bdb-specific problem.
