Hi,
first of all, please excuse me if I've hit the wrong openldap mailinglist.
My question below is related to section 4.1 of RFC4517 which says:
Servers that implement the extensibleMatch filter SHOULD allow the matching rules listed in Section 4.2 to be used in the extensibleMatch filter and SHOULD allow matching rules to be used with all attribute types known to the server, where the assertion syntax of the matching rule is the same as the value syntax of the attribute.
Could someone please explain to me why openldap currently doesn't support for example 'caseIgnoreOrderingMatch' (which is listed in section 4.2 of RFC4517) in extensible match filters? Of course I've seen the two SHOULDs above - I just don't understand the openldap related technical/design decision regarding the missing support and would be very happy if someone could please explain this to me.
Probably no one has implemented them previously. You could file an ITS with your contribution for consideration at http://www.openldap.org/its. Make sure you read the contribution guidelines:
