Re: x-ordered extension doesn't work (openldap2-2.3.27)

Thank you very much for this suggestion and actually, until today I dig into documents for some hours that I finally discovered I am experimenting with configuration data. I am not smart as a lot geeks to be able to understand (or google out) the Internet Draft is using configuration data as example.

And it's very appreciated for you to not not point out the mistake but also suggested what TFM to read (in this case The F** Meterial to test). I am not in the office to test but I'll do it later and share my experience with other new learners.

I suggest you start with something simpler, like example data. Working with configuration data may really put you into trouble, as there might be subtle side-effects that lead to apparently counter-intuitive behavior.

For example, you should start from understanding how test042 works:

cd tests/ ./run test042

look at testrun/slapd.1.conf for the configuration, and at scripts/test042-valsort for what the test actually does. Then you can start slapd with that configuration and try some simple operations: ldapsearch, ldapadd, ldapmodify and so.

...

...

 I. on SuSE 10.2, install openldap2-2.3.27-25 (official suse
    package)
II. start the service by running /etc/init.d/ldap start

III. run slapadd to add the test entry given in http://www.highlandsun.com/hyc/drafts/draft-chu-ldap-xordered-xx.html

You're not supposed to run slapadd while the server is running.

...

...

Note:

 I. /etc/openlda/slapd.conf is not modified at all to give a pure
    and clean test environment; default SuSE 10.2 openldap package
    is pre-configured to work out-of-the-box;

Unless you load the valsort overlay where appropriate, you won't have the desired feature.

...

...

II. The test entry is taken from Internet draft with only one
    modification to replace dn suffix to dc=my-domain,dc=com which
    is OpenSuSE openldap package's default value;

III. I tried to include the attached schema file to slapd.conf but keep getting "Inconsistent duplicate attributeType" error which seems to suggest definition of olcDatabase, olcSuffic and olcDatabaseConfig are embeded in openldap source code.

They are, no need to infer. You are not supposed to muck with internal schema, most of all with that configuration specific.
