Hey,
In case the namingContexts field contains more than one naming context, we have
no way of knowing which one is the required one.
We take the first one. In active directory, for example (and as far as I
understand in the newest free-ipa) you have a defaultNamingContext field, and
if so we take it, and it contains only one naming context.
As you see in the code below, we have a "special" treatment for RHDS, as it
always contains "o=netscaperoot" in the namingContexts field (not necessary at
the beginning of the list), so we filter it out.
It was enough for now, but I agree that if adding new LDAP providers, which
usually have a more complex and unpredictable data in the namingContext field,
then we would probably need to ask the user to specify the naming context for
us, and if he didn't specify it then assume it is identical to the domain name.
