So I have a request from developers to enable the sssvlv overlay. They would like the server to return sorted searches on I enabled the overlay and then to test the functionality I added the following "ordering" rule to the core.schema. attributetype ( 2.5.4.4 NAME ( 'sn' 'surname' ) DESC 'RFC2256: last (family) name(s) for which the entity is known by' ORDERING caseIgnoreOrderingMatch SUP name ) The following ldapsearch works as expected and returns the "sn" attribute in alphabetical order. ldapsearch -x -ZZ -D cn=root,dc=testlott,dc=lott -w password objectclass=person -E sss=sn sn
Based on this information I have several questions. 1. Will I be violating any RFC by modifying the core.schema?2. The developers want the same functionality with the "cn" attribute. Is this supported or even possible?3. They also request this functionality on a couple of attributes in a custom schema. Is adding an "ordering" rule as I did with the "sn" attribute the proper way to do this?
Thanks.
