Re: weighted valsort for telephone Numbers



thanks for that info

how do you use that control ? I tried the following :

ldapsearch -x -W -D "cn=admin,dc=company,dc=com" -b "ou=people,dc=company,dc=com" -s subtree -e 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.5.14

I get :
# search result
search: 2
result: 2 Protocol error
text: valSort control value is absent

thanks, I agree, first I thought that weighted valsort could be used
to give an importance grade to a set of attributes, but I agree, it
seems it is of much limited use

(other limitation : it's quite impossible to delete/modify a
weighted entry, because you need to include the weight ({3} for
example) in the LDIF delete/modify instruction file. Given that the
weight value is never returned by searches, it's impossible to know
that weight, thus impossible to delete the attribute, unless that
information has been stored somewhere else)

To perform a search that returns the weighted values the control
LDAP_CONTROL_VALSORT (1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.5.14) must be specified.
