RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Nathan Kinder 2013-03-06 18:16:25 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/543

I have performed sorting in ldapsearch operation with all the combination of two attributes (sn, telephonenumber). I have made the 'sn' values of all the entries same and the 'telephonenumber' values different so that the sorting order for all the search results will be same. But the sorting order for the  search results are not same as expected. When I sort with "sn", "sn telephonenumber" and "telephonenumber sn" the ordering of the search results are same. The search results of "telephonenumber" sort is different from other results. At least the search results for sorting with "telephonenumber" and "telephonenumber sn"  should give similar results as all the entries have same 'sn' value.
Note: It is reproduced in 389 DS-1.2.15

As per - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989692#c1, I am marking the bugzilla with qe_test_coverage+ flag.

Comment 2 Rich Megginson 2013-10-01 23:24:28 UTC

moving all ON_QA bugs to MODIFIED in order to add them to the errata (can't add bugs in the ON_QA state to an errata).  When the errata is created, the bugs should be automatically moved back to ON_QA.

Comment 4 Sankar Ramalingam 2013-12-20 11:26:44 UTC

Automated test cases added to clu/cluSearch.sh : trac543
