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

If I search for this user by uid, I will get no results back:

# ldapsearch -xZZ -b "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" uid=496user # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <ou=people,dc=example,dc=com> with scope subtree # filter: uid=496user # requesting: ALL #

# search result search: 3 result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 1

Searching by mailid does work:

# ldapsearch -xZZ -b "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" mailid=496user@nest.tld ...<snip>... 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

# search result search: 3 result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1

The schema is as follows (downloaded from riseuplabs.org):

objectIdentifier OID 1.1 objectIdentifier ldapOID OID:2 objectIdentifier attributetypeOID ldapOID:1 objectIdentifier objectclassOID ldapOID:2

attributeType ( attributetypeOID:1 NAME 'mailAddress' DESC 'email address(es)' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{256} )

attributeType ( attributetypeOID:2 NAME 'maildrop' DESC 'Mail addresses where mail is delivered -- ie forwards' SUP mailAddress )

attributeType ( attributetypeOID:3 NAME 'mailid' DESC 'Mail addresses accepted by this account -- ie aliases' SUP mailAddress )

attributeType ( attributetypeOID:4 NAME 'mailquota' DESC 'Bytes of mail quota' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{256} SINGLE-VALUE )

attributetype ( attributetypeOID:5 NAME 'maildir' DESC 'where mail is stored' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{256} SINGLE-VALUE )

objectclass ( objectclassOID:1 NAME 'mailAccount' DESC 'users who receive mail' AUXILIARY MAY (maildrop $ mailid $ mailquota $ maildir) )
