W’re comparing various LDAP server setups; and we are wondering what the ‘correct’ search result is for a search which is done such as
'(|(|(|(givenname=fred*)(sn=fred*)(mail=fred*)(cn=fred*)
in a situation where we have records which do not have a certain attribute (e.g. no givenname or cn) — e.g. a record as light weight as:
dn: uid= 1234 objectClass: person uid: 1234 sn: fred fred telephoneNumber: 1234
As we notice that some servers will return this given above query; and some do not.
And I cannot find the exact spot in the RFC where the ‘correct’ behaviour is mentioned.
Would anyone have a pointer or a suggestion ? And would OpenLDAP 2.4 be intentionally more accommodating than the spec ?
