Re: [Engine-devel] namingcontexts getting ignored.
Hey,
In case the namingContexts field contains more than one naming context, we have no way of
knowing which one is the required one.
We take the first one. In active directory, for example (and as far as I understand in the
newest free-ipa) you have a defaultNamingContext field, and if so we take it, and it
contains only one naming context.
As you see in the code below, we have a "special" treatment for RHDS, as it
always contains "o=netscaperoot" in the namingContexts field (not necessary at
the beginning of the list), so we filter it out.
It was enough for now, but I agree that if adding new LDAP providers, which usually have a
more complex and unpredictable data in the namingContext field, then we would probably
need to ask the user to specify the naming context for us, and if he didn't specify it
then assume it is identical to the domain name.

Subject: [Engine-devel] namingcontexts getting ignored.
Hi,
I enter "getDefaultNamingContextFromNamingContexts()" with
namingContexts set to -
namingcontexts: CN=SCHEMA, CN=LOCALHOST, CN=IBMPOLICIES, O=IBM.COM,
O=DELETED.IBM.COM
But this method only takes the first case "CN=SCHEMA" and ignores
the rest. Actually I am interested in "O=IBM.COM".
Is this working as designed or needs improvement?
