Applies to:

Oracle Internet Directory - Version 11.1.1.7.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

Let's assume to have these entries:

uid=jsmith,dc=example,dc=com
uniqueIdentifier=a00001,uid=jsmith,dc=example,dc=com
$ ldapsearch -h hostname -p 3060 -b "uid=jsmith,dc=example,dc=com" objectclass=*

would return first the "parent"

uid=jsmith,dc=example,dc=com

entry and then the "child"?

uniqueIdentifier=a00001,uid=jsmith,dc=example,dc=com
