Alex Karasulu commented on DIRSERVER-1214:
------------------------------------------
This really does not make protocol sense to me. Why? Well because the descent
from the root DSE may not be one level down. Let me explain further:
partitions can have a suffixes with more than one RDN component like
dc=example,dc=com. When conducting search with anything other than base object
scope this may become a problem since the returned set of entries will be
disjoint (some will not have parents returned below the search base). This
might mess up some clients.
I think this issue should be closed and forgotten but we can implement it if
need be. It's not that hard. However again it does not make protocol sense to
me.

> Key: DIRSERVER-1214
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1214
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.5.3
> Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
> Fix For: 1.5.6
>
>
> We can't do a search with an empty baseDN, when it's not specifically a
> rootDSE search (ie, (objectClass=*) and scope=OBJECT).
> We should consider that such a search is spreaded on all the partitions.
> This is not easy to implement without the nested partitions, as the current
> existing partitions are potentially stoed in different backends.
