Symptoms

Multi-value attributes are not returned in the same order as created

example:

Create a user and search user to view all attributes
./ldapsearch -p <PORT> -D "cn=<DS_ADMIN>" -w <PASSWORD> -b "cn=first,ou=people,dc=<DOMAIN>,dc=com" -s sub "objectclass=*"
dn: cn=First,ou=People,dc=<DOMAIN>,dc=com
sn: First
userPassword: <PASSWORD>
cn: First
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
givenName: First
uid: First




Add multiple values to the CN attribute -- Second, third and fourth (one at a time), then search user again.
The cn values are not returned in the order created.

./ldapsearch -p <PORT> -D "cn=<DS_ADMIN>" -w <PASSWORD> -b "cn=first,ou=people,dc=<DOMAIN>,dc=com" -s sub "objectclass=*"
dn: cn=First,ou=People,dc=<DOMAIN>,dc=com
sn: First
userPassword:<PASSWORD>
cn: second
cn: third
cn: fourth
cn: First
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
uid: First
