Hello, we use OpenLdap 2.3.38 on Solaris 10 (note we run openldap on high-Port, so ldap can run as a "normal" user, without root-rights) While the uid is not case-sensitiv, i want to search with an extensible search (e.g. in RFC 2254 desribed), in the hope that Apache this also can in the AuthLdapUrl Directive. But first, i try from console with ldapsearch But this ends with an Error-Code 34 invalid DN syntax Whats wrong ? Do extended search work correct in openldap, or whats the Error ? First,when i try a "normal" search like this, it works fine .. an extended not 1. ldapsearch -H ldap://10.11.12.15:2389 -x -b uid=u4711,ou=SI,ou=Benutzer,dc=sparkassen-informatik,dc=de 2. ldapsearch -H ldap://10.11.12.15:3389 -x -b uid:caseExactMatch:u4711,ou=SI,ou=Benutzer,dc=sparkassen-informatik,dc=de Response from 1. # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <uid=u4711,ou=SI,ou=Benutzer,dc=sparkassen-informatik,dc=de> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL # # u4711, SI, Benutzer, sparkassen-informatik.de dn: uid=u4711,ou=SI,ou=Benutzer,dc=sparkassen-informatik,dc=de cn: u4711 destinationIndicator: 100100,4600,, st: 6 objectClass: person objectClass: uidObject objectClass: organizationalPerson l: alle sn: User von K.H.
