Hi

If I run a query against my directory with this filter:

"(myDeviceId=ZZZ-07430.08.12345678*)"

it returns a match showing precisely that myDeviceId = "ZZZ-07430.08.12345678"

If I use this filter, without the wildcard and just the actual value

"(myDeviceId=ZZZ-07430.08.12345678)"

it returns no match.

Even if I change the attribute value to something very simple like "x" I still need to include a wildcard in my filter to get any match.

This works however:

"(myDeviceId:caseExactMatch:=ZZZ-07430.08.12345678)"

What gives here?

The specific attribute is defined in the schema file as follows:

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.36200.255.0.17
        NAME 'myDeviceId'
        DESC 'Identifies a device'
        SUP uid
        EQUALITY caseExactMatch
        SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
        SINGLE-VALUE
 )

I am no expert, but this makes no sense to me?  I feel I am missing something, but what?
