Problem of the search function

[<eri...@hk...>]

Dear all,

I encounter a problem of using search utility. The following is my program
and configuration.

       0  ldap host A   ip addrss: 172.15.208.11   dc=fin,dc=net
        \
         \
          0  ldap host B ip address 172.15.208.12   dc=abc,dc=fin,dc=net

I have set a referral entry to ldap host B on ldap host A. So, the search
will search the host A and then host B.
But now, I just want to search host A and retreive its entry only. I have
tried the below search option but still fail,
there are:

$entry = $conn->search("dc=fin,dc=net", "", $filter, 0, @attr);
Result: no entry found
$entry = $conn->search("dc=fin,dc=net", "one", $filter, 0, @attr);
Result: no entry found
$entry = $conn->search("dc=fin,dc=net", "base", $filter, 0, @attr);
Result: no entry found         $entry = $conn->search("dc=fin,dc=net",
"sub", $filter, 0, @attr);   Result: no entry found
$entry = $conn->search("", "", $filter, 0, @attr);
It display the whole entry including the referral ldap host B database.

$entry = $conn->search("dc=abc,dc=fin,dc=net", "", $filter, 0, @attr);
It display all the entry of ldap host B database.


Can anyone tell me how to set the search option  just only search the root
ldap server and not go to its referral ldap server.

Thanks a lot!!!!

Regards/Eric



The program is:


use Mozilla::LDAP::Conn;

$conn = new Mozilla::LDAP::Conn ("172.15.206.11", "389", "", "");
die "No LDAP connection" unless $conn;

@attr = ("cn", "sn", "mail");
$filter = "(cn=eric*)";

$base = "dc=finnet-hk,dc=net";
$entry = $conn->search("", "one", $filter, 0, @attr);

$count=0;
if ( ! $entry)
{ print (" handle this event, no entry");
}
else
{      while ($entry)
           {
          $entry ->printLDIF();
          $entry = $conn ->nextEntry();
         }
   }
close(FILE);
