[Samba] LdapSearch returns a user first instead of the domain base

[Olivier BILHAUT]

I Rowland, 

Thanks for quick reply. 

An exemple of ldapsearch could
be : 

ldapsearch -h PDC.domain.local -x -W -D "administrator at FHM.LOCAL"
-b "DC=FHM,DC=local" 

Returns with Samba : 

# extended LDIF
#
#
LDAPv3
# base <DC=FHM,DC=local> with scope subtree
# filter:
(objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#

# Firstname LASTNAME, ou1, Users,
domain.local
dn: CN=Firstname
LASTNAME,OU=ou1,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=local
objectClass:
top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass:
user
CN: Firstname LASTNAME 

[...] 

And returns on Microsoft AD : 

#
extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <DC=FHM,DC=local> with scope subtree
#
filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
# 

dn:
DC=domain,DC=local
objectClass: top
objectClass: domain
objectClass:
domainDNS
instanceType: 5
whenCreated: 20120613130158.0 

[...] 

Our
dev relies on the first element returned to grab the domain. 

Our
version is Samba 4.14.3. 

Thanks, 

Olivier B
