Hi all,

I am currently trying to add a sort control to an LDAP query, but the attribute I am trying to sort on isn't defined in the schema - the attribute exists as the object has extensibleObject.

I am getting a NamingException from our code, and the 389s log reports error 12 as below. Is what I'm trying to do possible?

Unfortunately, not. You need to have a syntax definition to use the server side sorting. Note: you could do sorting in the client side without schema. $ man ldapsearch -S attribute Sort the entries returned based on attribute. The default is not to sort entries returned. If attribute is a zero-length string (""), the entries are sorted by the components of their Distinguished Name. See ldap_sort(3) for more details. Note that ldapsearch normally prints out entries as it receives them. The use of the -S option defeats this behavior, causing all entries to be retrieved, then sorted, then printed.
