To the members of the mailing list,

Upon a test search I'm getting the following error:

$ ldapsearch -LLL -v -z none -x -e "2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.9" -h bugsbunny.bar -p 9999 -b "ou=foo,o=bar" -D "uid=xxx,ou=foo,o=bar" -w "xxxxxxxx" "(&(objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames)(displayname=*))" displayname
ldap_initialize( ldap://bugsbunny.bar:9999 )
filter: (&(objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames)(displayname=*))
requesting: displayname
Unknown error (60)
Additional information: VLV Control

When looking up the error I noticed the following:

LDAP_SORT_CONTROL_MISSING - 60 (x'3C) - Unused in standards. Sun LDAP Directory Server only. Server did not receive a required server-side sorting control.

Can someone that has experience with this type of LDAP search criteria assist me to obtain a final resolution?
See the relevant I-D http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ldapext-ldapv3-vlv-09
per section 6.1, you need to have a SSS control in addition to the VLV control. You're missing that, hence the server says it didn't receive the requirement. Make sure your requests comply with the I-D.
Also, the controlValue has precise requirements, and I don't see an example of that above. 

Using OpenLDAP's ldapsearch(1) I believe this would go something like:

ldapsearch -z none -x -E sss=heightInCm -E vlv=0/1/0/1 -b cn=foo -h ldap.example.com (uid=user)
