ldapsearch with trailing whitespace

[Patrick Radtke <phr2101@columbia.edu>]

Ldapsearch seems to ignore any trailing whitespace in my search query, 
even if there is an * after the whitespace.

For example for an entry where
cn: Rolando Rodriguez


A search for cn="roland*"
returns the entry as expected.

A search for cn="rol *"
also returns the entry.

I would have expected this to only match a cn  like
cn: Rol Rodriguez

Is the behavior expected, or is something wrong with my setup?

I've been told it used to work on our test machine.
But a lot of things changed on the test machine since this worked.


we are running 2.2.23 ( I know it is a bit old)


cn is indexed as

index           givenName,cn,sn,mail                    pres,eq,sub


thanks,

Patrick
