Re: ITS#6439
=46rom Solaris 10's 'ldapclient' manpage:
defaultSearchScope=3Done | sub
Specify the default search scope for the client's search
operations. This default can be overridden for a given
service by specifying a serviceSearchDescriptor. The
default is one level search.
The parameter 'defaultSearchScope' only allows ONE or SUB.
The 'serviceSearchDescriptor' is not an option, since this is designed =
to work with NSS objects like 'passwd', 'shadow', 'hosts', etc. rootDSE =
is not a service in that sense, so it won't work here.
For compatibility reasons, It may well be in OpenLDAP's best interest to =
provide options such as the ones I described previously, for "broken" or =
"substandard" clients such as the ones I am using.
I will point out that Solaris 11 doesn't exhibit these issues ---- But =
my company wants to use Solaris 10, which leaves me in the middle of a =
finger pointing party between OPENLDAP and SUN. So you can understand =
why I might be asking for something as strange as this ....
SUN says OpenLDAP's standard/methods are questionable & strange. =
OpenLDAP says Sun's client is broken and that we should hack it. I say =
screw Solaris 10.
Thank you for your assistance. You can probably close this ticket.
