Hi Thanks for the reply. I tried with both 1.0.2 and 2.0.0.AM2 with the same outcome. The output from the Java code was as below (I just have a local ldap with a few users for testing)
sn: Trainee sn: Admin sn: User sn: Supervisor I did not know about the slapo-sssvlv overlay, my LDAP knowledge is basic - I am running OpenLDAP from the docker image openfrontier/openldap-server I tried to install it - I successfully loaded the ldif below. Now when I run the original code I get no results at all. If I remove the SortRequest control from the SearchRequest it returns me the expected results. > dn: cn=module{0}, cn=config > changetype: modify > add: olcModuleLoad > olcModuleLoad: sssvlv.la > > dn: olcOverlay=sssvlv,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config > changetype: add > objectClass: olcSssVlvConfig > olcSssVlvMax: 10 > olcSssVlvMaxKeys: 5 Is this the correct way to install the slapo-sssvlv overlay? I am not sure how to provide it's configuration sorry.
