We can't search expected entries from LDAP server
Issue
- Our customer defines "exg<Name>" attribute in the entries on his LDAP server. In addition, he uses "index" for "exg<Name>" attribute.
slapd.conf
----------------------------
index exg<Name> eq
----------------------------
/var/lib/ldap/
-----------------------
exg<Name>.bdb
-----------------------
-
We add the same entries both on RHEL5.x(openldap-2.3.x) and on RHEL6.5(openldap-2.4.43) by LDIF file and we search entries with following search formula.
*The minimum value of "exg<Name>" attribute's value is "19000101", and the maximum value of it is "20150121".# slapadd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -l slapcat.log # ldapsearch -x -H ldap://127.0.0.1 -b 'ou=Users,ou=usermtn,dc=*******,dc=local' -D cn=Manager,dc=*******,dc=local -w ********* -LLL -s one '(exg<Name><=20150130)' -
We can search intended numbers of entries (38034) on openldap-2.3.x, on the other hand, in the case of openldap-2.4.43, the search result is 33115. Moreover, we delete index of "exg<Name>" attribute and re-search entries, we can search intended numbers of entries (38034) on openldap-2.4.43.
Snipped from slapd.conf
-----------------------------
#index exg<Name> eq
-----------------------------
# rm /var/lib/ldap/exg<Name>.bdb
