I noticed that with OpenLDAP 2.4.30, a search request with a non criticical sss control on an attribute without ordering matching rule returns an error:

clement@ader:~/Programmes/openldap$ bin/ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost:3389 -D ou=lsc,ou=accounts,ou=XXX -w secret -b ou=people,ou=XXX -E sss=cn # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # with server side sorting control #

# search result search: 2 result: 18 Inappropriate matching text: serverSort control: No ordering rule

# numResponses: 1

I think the error should only be returned if the control is critical. Else, the search results should be returned, not sorted.

A patch was proposed in ITS 6647, it was working when applied to 2.4.23 version: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/pierangelo-masarati-2010-09-14-sssvlv.1.patch
