Re: base search with objectClass=* does not work properly...

["Sukanta Ganguly" <groundl@hotmail.com>]

I saw the code in the 2.0.7 version of openldap that the root_dse_info 
function which is called in response to the root_dse query (i.e. ldapsearch 
-b "" -s base "(objectClass=*)" ) does search for the object classes 
supported within the LDAP server. I saw the scheme DN query that the oc_info 
method (which browses through all the object classes supported by the LDAP 
server) is called. But in my case when I send a query
 ldapsearch -b "cn=Subschema" -s base "(objectClass=subschema)"
it returns me only the hardcoded object classes and not the once present in 
the system, added by me.
 I hope Kurt reads this email since I think he could provide more insights 
to this. Was this how it is supposed to function or is this an oversight?
  What am I doing wrong here? From the RFC 2251 cn=subschema should also 
return all the object classes. Ain't that right???


Thanks in advance
