Re: search with (uidNumber>=1900) got "text: inappropriate matching request"

Hello. I am not quiet sure why a search with (uidNumber>=1900) got "text: inappropriate matching request".

Because uidNumber, according to its definition, does not have an ordering matching rule.

I've checked that uidNumber is mentioned and commented in nis.schema on my openldap-2.4.10 on Debian. Thus it should be a built-in attribute. It is of integerMatch

Can you give some hint how to search for all users with uid greater than 1900? Thanks!

Programmatically. E.g. search for '(uidNumber=*)' and discard results that do not match your rule.
