RE: Newbie search question - Help!

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize that the search pattern is configurable. Mine was set to EQUALITY caseExactIA5Match. Searching using the full DN works. Thanks again.

What version of OpenLDAP?

Did you index uniqueMember as eq and substr?  Note that for substring
