Re: ldapsearch case insensitive

We have an openldap server which authenticates users. "uid" is the
attribute with which it authenticates.

We find that ldapsearch is case insensitive when search is done with uid
as the filter.

The attribute type "uid" is defined with matching rules that ignore case:

attributetype ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1
       NAME ( 'uid' 'userid' )
       DESC 'RFC1274: user identifier'
       EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
       SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
       SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{256} )

If you need it to be case sensitive, you should define your own ("myUid") with caseExact matching.
