RE: Problem finding telephonenumber in a plain numeric search when number is stored with special characters

["Walter Kempel" <Walter.Kempel@bs.ch>]

So I guess the solution for me would be in servers/slapd/schema_init.c:

/* Remove all spaces and '-','(',')','+' characters */
static int
telephoneNumberNormalize(
...
 for( p = val->bv_val; *p; p++ ) {
     if ( ! ( ASCII_SPACE( *p ) || *p == '-' || *p == '(' || *p == ')' || *p == '+' )) {
...

Would this be sufficient? I don't know the relations of all the components in OpenLdap yet.
