[Fedora-directory-users] Search by "uid" attribute returns duplicate results

[Kevin M. Myer]

Hello,

I migrated a Netscape Directory Server 4.16 installation to Fedora 
Directory Server over the weekend.  It went very smoothly, but I now 
have a puzzling problem.  I have two servers setup in multimaster 
replication mode.  On the one server, for one subtree only, if I search 
via the 'uid' attribute, each search returns two identical entries.  On 
the other server, if I search via the 'uid' attribute, I get one entry. 
  If I search on anything but the 'uid' attribute (say, for instance 
'mail'), I get one result from both servers.

The server that returns duplicate results for the 'uid' searches was 
running in a test mode prior to my migration.  However, I wiped the 
database/subtree that had our organization accounts located in it prior 
to migrating.  My initial suspicion is that I have a messed up index 
somewhere but I don't see how I would ever have been able to import 
duplicate sets of entries anyway, since we are using 'uid' as our RDN 
value.  Further, if I export the data for that subtree, there are only 
one set of entries for each account.

Thoughts on what might be occuring?

Kevin
