Hello everyone,
I have a feeling this may not actually be an error of sorts, and with
smart applications, this shouldn't even be a usability issue.
Nevertheless, I have an application (HP 9100c Digital Sender) that
searches OpenLDAP directory for a mail attribute associated with an
account. Unfortunately, when it does its search, it gets back the mail
attribute, and the utaMailAlias attribute because utaMailAlias is
derived from mail:
# utaMailAlias -- email alias value
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.19638.1.1.102 NAME 'utaMailAlias'
DESC 'Email alias'
SUP mail)
The attribute I am wanting is only mail, but OpenLDAP will return both
mail and utaMailAlias.
ldapsearch -H "ldaps://HOSTNAME" -b "cn=accounts,dc=uta,dc=edu"
"(uid=digant)" mail
# digant, accounts, uta, edu
dn: uid=digant,cn=accounts,dc=uta,dc=edu
mail: digant@exchange.uta.edu
utaMailAlias: digant@uta.edu
Is there a way to keep derived attribute types from being returned?
When this happens, the digital sender just assumes something went wrong
instead of correctly using just the mail attribute.
I am using OpenLDAP 2.2.23 on Red Hat AS 3.0. (I should probably
upgrade to the latest OpenLDAP, huh?)
