Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2)
Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux based)
Novell QuickFinder

Situation

No search results are being displayed.


Quickfinder should only display files, when the user performing the search has the rights to see the file.

The files or on a remote server on a NSS volume and the remote server doesn't have a replica of the user.

Resolution

This has been resolved in OES2 SP2 or later.

Additional Information

Steps to duplicate:
  1. install a OES2 SP1 LX server with Quickfinder
  2. install a NW 6.5 SP7/SP8 server. This server should have no replicas.
  3. create a user. This user should have his home-directory on the nw server.
  4. log in as the user and copy some files on his home-directory. Try to remember something you can search on later.
  5. define a index in QF that indexes the home-directory of the user. The index should be defined to only display files owned by the user.
  6. login in QF search as the user and perform a search. You will receive no results.
