Does OpenLDAP omit entries from the search results that match the search filter but do not contain the attribute listed in the attribute list in the search request? > SASL/GSSAPI authentication started > SASL username: quanah at stanford.edu > SASL SSF: 56 > SASL installing layers > # extended LDIF > # > # LDAPv3 > # base <> with scope sub > # filter: (!(uid=quanah)) > # requesting: ALL > # > > # stanford.edu > dn: dc=stanford,dc=edu > objectClass: dcObject > objectClass: organization > o: Stanford University > dc: stanford > l: Palo Alto > > # Manager, stanford.edu > dn: cn=Manager,dc=stanford,dc=edu > objectClass: organizationalRole > cn: Manager > > # People, stanford.edu > dn: cn=People,dc=stanford,dc=edu > objectClass: top > objectClass: organizationalRole > cn: People > > > --Quanah > > -- > Quanah Gibson-Mount > Principal Software Developer > ITSS/Shared Services > Stanford University > GnuPG Public Key: http://www.stanford.edu/~quanah/pgp.html > > "These censorship operations against schools and libraries are stronger > than ever in the present religio-political climate.
