Re: help with ldapsearch on uid

Hello,

I am using OpenLDAP 2.4.9 on CentOS 5.1 (32 bit) with a custom schema and I have added ~7500 objects and I am not able to search successfully for these objects by uid. What must I do to be able to search for these objects by uid?

Sample object:

# 496user, People, example.com dn: uid=496user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: mailAccount maildrop: 496user@nest.tld mailid: 496user@nest.tld maildir: 496user/ userPassword:: secret mailquota: 35969216S

It looks like my issue deals with the uid not being defined as an attribute, although it is part of the DN. Is there any way to address these objects, rather than purging the directory and starting fresh? Modrdn maybe?

Thanks, Josh Miller, RHCE
