I'm trying to write a Java client to browse an LDAP directory. To try to be as flexible as possible, when it starts up, I try to get the root DSE. I did the original testing against a Netscape server and do the JNDI equivalent of ldapsearch -h thehost -p theport -b "" -s base objectclass=* and I get back the namingcontexts plus other attributes with no problem. When I do the same thing with OpenLDAP, I get back almost nothing (the default ref and the objectclass). With OpenLDAP I have to specify an attribute of "+" to get the information I need. When I specify "+" to Netscape, I get nothing. I can get what I need right now by specifically asking for the namingcontexts attribute, but it seems like someone isn't doing the right thing with regard to operational attributes on the root DSE. o _______________ Gary Williams SAS Institute Inc. /\_ _| | Gary.Williams@sas.com SAS Campus Dr. _\__`[_______________| 919-677-8000 x4059 Cary, NC 27513 ] [ \, ][ ][
