Hello,
I recently started working on ticket #1991.
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1991
"The return codes of various sysdb operations differ. Some search
operations would return ENOENT if they don't find a matching object some
would return EOK but an empty result list."
I think that the core of the problem is the expectation that ldb_search
returns LDB_ERR_NO_SUCH_OBJECT in case no results were found. But it
instead returns LDB_SUCCESS and sets result->count to 0.
I think it would be best for sysdb functions in case that no results
were found to return both ENOENT value and 'properly' empty list.
Thanks for opinions.
Pavel Reichl
