98754 - Fail to search with First name if Common name is not in default order

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: LDAP Integration, defect, P3)

Description

[yulian chang]

20010907 0.9.4 branch build.

The default order of Common Name is FIRSTNAME LASTNAME. LDAP Autocomplete will fail
to search by FirstName if the user entry in LDAP Server does not follow this rule.

Try this settings:

Hostname: bologna.mcom.com
BaseDN: dc=mcom,dc=com

There's a user entry in this Directory Server as following:

First name: John
Last name: Little
Common Name: Little, John
eMail: [e-mail]

Need to see if 4.x behaves the same way; if so, we'll push this bug out a bit.

Comment 2

[yulian chang]

4.x has no problem finding it!

Comment 3

[Jussi-Pekka Mantere]

Over to Leif.

Comment 4

[Leif Hedstrom]

This is odd, I tested 4.7 and 6.1 against my test server. They use identical
search strings:

(|(cn=john*)(mail=john*)(sn=john*))


I also setup a test server for "bologna" in my 4.7 prefs, and typed "john". As
expected, it does not find the entries.

So, I can't reproduce this, and I believe 6.1 behaves exactly the same way as
4.x. Maybe (just guessing) you are using a 4.x prefs file which is configured by
IS? They might have changed the default search string. I started a completely
fresh profile when doing my tests.

I just created a new profile in 4.x and added new Driectory, Bologna.
Did search against Bologna, Show names containing: john
The entry is found!

Comment 6

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

Adding correctness Status Whiteboard, correct/expected behavior does not occur.

Comment 7

[yulian chang]

take back my words. 4.x aucomplete doesn't find the entry.

Comment 8

[selmer (gone)]

Is this Invalid or WFM then?  Please update the bug status.

Comment 9

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

PDT-, until we know the status on this one, and it can be proved that is is a
4xp issue. If you disagree and have a patch for this with reviews, pls update
the status of this bug, and bring it to the PDT.

Comment 10

[Leif Hedstrom]

Closing this bug as invalid, the behaviour in 6.x is in parity with 4.x, and we
should not change the default behaviour.
