RE: Supported RFC's and "features"

...

I see one valuable use for SSS - guaranteed search return order. Regardless of the sort algorithm, knowing that searches will always return entries in the same order allows for easy comparison, merge sorts, or differentials with another list - as in necessary during

the

...

reconciliation or join phases of provisioning.

Or is this a bad application of SSS?

I think someone else already replied that the client library already

handles

sorting of results. There's nothing that depends on the server handling

this

in the application you're talking about.

But not all LDAP client libraries have this feature, and not everyone uses OpenLDAP's client libraries...
