Re: ldapsearch return strings

[Martin Hofbauer <mh@bacher.at>]

I will send this question now the 3rd time:

Is nobody out there, who can comment on this ?

===============

I have done a migration  from a Sun Directory Server 1.0 to Openldap 2.0.7

At that environment there are a lot of applications accessing this instance.

OpenLDAP 2.0.7 has one behavior that is differant to Sun Dir. Server, which
gives a lot of troubles:
( The Netscape Dir. Server 4.x behaves like the Sun Dir. !!!)

Examples:


OpenLDAP:


ldapsearch  ... uid=* cn

dn: cn=...
cn: Surname Givenname
...
...


ldapsearch  ... uid=* commonname	( as an alias to "cn" )

dn: cn=...
cn: Surname Givenname
...
...


the Sun- and Netscape Dir. give following results:




ldapsearch  ... uid=* cn

dn: cn=...
cn: Surname Givenname
...
...


ldapsearch  ... uid=* commonname        ( as an alias to "cn" )

dn: cn=...
commonname: Surname Givenname
^^^^^^^^^^
...
...



As you see at the end, both, the Sun- and the Netscape Dir. Server
returns the same attribute name as the attribute name in the
filter  not matter wether it is an alias attribiute or not.

Question:

Is it possible to change the behavior to that of the Sun- or Netscpe Dir. ?

BTW:

"cn" is an indexed attribute ( "index cn eq,sub ")


Thanks for any help !
