Full_Name: M.-A. DARCHE Version: 2.1.4 OS: GNU/Linux URL: Submission from: (NULL) (213.41.87.82) RFC 2251 has a very short paragraph about objectclass inheritance : Each entry MUST have an objectClass attribute. ... When creating an entry or adding an objectClass value to an entry, all superclasses of the named classes are _implicitly_added_ _as_well_if_not_already_present_, and the client must supply values for any mandatory attributes of new superclasses. So, if an entry present in OpenLDAP has a superclass, querying for the superclass should return this entry. Right now it doesn't :-( There is a test in the source code distribution about search, named : tests/scripts/test003-search This test is passing, but doesn't contain a "true" case for inheritance mechanism testing. test003-search tests querying, but only after populating with an LDIF content that _explicitly_ specifies objectclass attributes, thus invalidating any tests on inheritance. The LDIF content is : tests/data/test-ordered.ldif As said, in this LDIF content every OpenLDAPperson entry is _explicitly_ specified as a person objectclass : dn: cn=Ursula Hampster,ou=Alumni Association,ou=People,o=University of Michigan,c=US objectclass: top objectclass: person objectclass: OpenLDAPperson To exactly test inheritance, just add the following entry at the end of : tests/data/test-ordered.ldif dn: cn=testEntry,ou=Alumni Association,ou=People,o=University of Michigan,c=US objectclass: inetOrgPerson cn: testEntry sn: Test And in test003-search, add the following : echo "Testing inheritance searching..." $LDAPSEARCH -S "" -b "$BASEDN" -h $LOCALHOST -p $PORT \ '(objectclass=person)' If OpenLDAP work as I understand it should, we should see the testEntry entry returned... which is not the case.
A fix for this has been committed to the HEAD branch. Kurt At 12:47 AM 2002-08-29, dev.openldap@cynode.org wrote: >Full_Name: M.-A.

Moreover, it's good to see that a new "test for objectClass/attributeType inheritance ..." in the file tests/scripts/test003-search Many thanks for this amazingly fast correction. -- Marc-Aurèle DARCHE <http://www.cynode.org> AFUL <http://www.aful.org> Association Francophone des Utilisateurs de Linux/Logiciels Libres French speaking Linux and Libre Software Users' Association
