(ITS#4922) test_filter problem on uid filter

Full_Name: juri tanganelli Version: 2.3.27 OS: Red Hat EL 3 URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (195.7.19.10)

I have developed a custom backend that uses the test_filter function to determine if an entry is matching a given input filter. Filter on any of the entry attribute but Uid works fine. When i specify i filter on the uid attribute i get very strange results for example:

- when i use the complete value of the attribute such as uid=e497004 no result is returned, but there is an entry with that value. - when i use some regular expressions the result is correclty such as uid=e* the corresponding entry is correctly returned.
