Re: LDAP error when used with netsacpe 4.5 addressbook

[Charl Barnard <charl@up.ac.za>]

Hi Achim,

Yup, seen it, and reported to this list twice, but with no useful replies.
One opinion was faulty query handling by slapd, but I find that strange,
since it works perfectly with ldapsearch, Pine 4.0's addressbook, and
web500gw.

I also get failed searches frequently with MS-Outlook's LDAP addressbook
interface; no errors are returned as with Netscape, simply 0 search
results. Usually simply repeating the search then gets results. Obviously
something's not right ..

Eagerly awaiting responses from the list.

Cheers,

Charl
