In IS 9594-3 (X.511) sec 10.2.3 it says: "The request succeeds if the base object is located, regardless of wheather there are any subordinates to return." On page 11-34 in Stable Agreements, dec 1988, it says that Search (filter) may return a number of different errors. This seems to be a contradiction to me. Consider the situation that a bad filter is passed (for example: equality tested on an attribute with no equality matching rule). Based on the Standard, if the name resolution finds the base object, then there will be a "null" result returned (the bad filterItem evaluates to undefined). Based on the Agreements, an AttributeError with problem InappropriateMatching should be returned. Am I missing something? /hans p.s. Yes, we should participate in the NIST WG on directories, but... -- Hans Eriksson (hans@ditmela.oz.au) CSIRO/DIT, 55 Barry Street, Carlton, Victoria 3053, Australia (we are GMT+11) Tel: +61 3 347-8644 Fax: +61 3 347-8987 Home: +61 3 534-5188 On a years leave from Swedish Institute of Computer Science (hans@sics.se)
