RE: FW: Openldap search results varies with search base
Hi Quanah,
Sorry for the inconsistency. Actually we get expected result on both search bases("o=system,cn=cordys,cn=ucloud,o=itsmydomain.com" and "o=itsmydomain.com") and the result differs only when the search base is " cn=ucloud,o=itsmydomain.com ".
In the case 1, we get two entries in the result set but in the case 2, we get only one entry. I think due to formatting issue it was deceptive in the previous mail.
The openldap version that we use is 2.4.21. This issue consistently occurs when we export(slapcat) the content in ldif format and imported(slapadd) again into a clean ldap server.
Thanks,
Jegan

What openldap version are you using?
I would note that your "working base" of "o=system,cn=cordys,cn=ucloud,o=itsmydomain.com" is not listed in either case 1 or case 2 as a base you used, and that in both case 1 and case 2, you say you got the same result. So based off of what you sent in email, everything appears to be working and neither case appears related to your complaint... You'll need to provide more precise information.
Since you didn't state what version of OpenLDAP you're using, one could endlessly speculate on potential fixed bugs over the last 5+ years that could result in the behavior you're reporting.
