Re: Search w/ empty base dn

I'm replacing an ldap server with Fedora Directory. The old one allows searches with
the base dn empty. Is there a way to allow searches with a blank base dn in Fedora
Directory?

I'm assuming you mean the ability to perform a subtree search with a base dn of "". No,
you cannot do this with Fedora DS. What is your old directory server? Does it do this
by default or do you have to configure it to do so?

Yes, -b ''

We are actually replacing an Exchange 5.5 system that is pretending to be an ldap server.
The unfortunate thing is that hundreds of users have their base dn blank, which is
something Exchange can apparently deal with. I am not sure if it had to be specifically configured to allow this.

So the bottom line sounds like we need to touch several hundred desktops if we want to transition away from Exchange. Sigh...

Thanks.
