Hello, using openldap 2.3.35.
When I do a search for some attribute like "cn=foobar", and in set of attributes which are to be returned per-entry is "cn" attribute, all its values are returned.
however, when I search with "cn=foo*", and entry has multiple "cn" values, like
"cn=foo", "cn=joe", "cn=foobar", "cn=foobarX", "cn=bob", "cn=nofoobar"
- is it possible to have "cn" returned, but only these values, which actually matched the filter ? Or, is it possible to find out how many values of "cn" in particular entry, matched? While doing such search in some specified case, I'm interested only with values "cn=foo", "cn=foobar" and "cn=foobarX", I do not care what are other "cn" values, nor even there are other values of "cn" which didn't match, or not. Such feature seems complicated, because filter actually may be build with many attributes, - and only if some of them are specified in return attributes, the matching values should be returned .
Regards, Piotr

Yes. Use RFC 3876 control. E.g.
$ ldapsearch -E mv="(cn=foo*)"
Or, is it possible to find out how many values of "cn" in particular entry, matched?
Dunno. But you can count the values returned by the above search

Very cool.

That's ok, but how do I use the extension with ldap_search_ext from C LDAP SDK ? :) Regards, Piotr

The save way ldapsearch.c does?

Cool, only this is not mentioned in ldapsearch man page. My story is like Piotr Wadas but I do have too many values for an attribute in different language versions, is it possible to only return values in the language version I specified? cn=Wong Penghui cn;lang-zh=Wang Penghui cn;lang-de=...
Now search for cn=*Penghui and wish to only return result in certain language, is it possible?

Please file an ITS for this. Complaining in the last of a series of emails on a partially related subject is really the best way for not seeing it fixed ever.

I don't know, but I guess so. Why don't you just try using a filter like -E mv="(cn;lang-zh=Wang Penghui)" ?

I just filed it http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi?findid=5034 It may be duplicated reported, I seem to recall when I was doing a google search on how to use '-E' I came across a page someone reported this issue (he used '-e' rather then '-E'), but I can never find that webpage again today.
My story is like Piotr Wadas but I do have too many values for an attribute in different language versions, is it possible to only return values in the language version I specified? cn=Wong Penghui cn;lang-zh=Wang Penghui cn;lang-de=...

Yes but in most cases I am troubled with, eerm, getting only the default language version, that is getting only "cn=Wong Penghui" but not "cn;lang-zh=Wang Penghui"
-E mv="cn=*Penghui" wouldn't work because by RFC 2596, server should think cn;lang-zh=Wang Penghui matches cn=*Penghui

Yes, see RFC3876. A copy of it is in the doc directory of the source tree.

I don't think so; a search qualifies an object as a match to the filter, so you get the attributes from the matching object(s) that you requested.
- and only if some of them are specified in return attributes, the
matching values should be returned .
I don't understand what this means.
