Re: ldapsearch uid=a* doesn't work (ITS#2507)

The "*" character is being expanded by shell.  You need to escape it.

when doing a search with a single character and a wildcard no results
are
returned
ie.
solarisbox:~ # ldapsearch -LLLb o=unix uid=a* dn

**noresults**

solarisbox:~ # ldapsearch -LLLb o=unix uid=ab* dn
dn: cn=Ab0001,ou=people,o=unix
dn: cn=Ab0002,ou=people,o=unix
dn: cn=Ab0003,ou=people,o=unix
etc....
