ldapsearch don't work correctly with "*" in the filter

[Mar Huerta Alvarez <huerta@tid.es>]

Hi.
I have instaled OpenLDAP 2.1.25 on Linux Red Hat 7.3.

I have defined the next classes:
    objectclass ( 1.1.2.2.1 NAME 'eba-instancia'
        SUP top
        MUST ( eba-id ))
    objectclass ( 1.1.2.2.6 NAME 'eba-instancia-red'
        SUP eba-instancia
        MUST ( eba-other ))
    objectclass ( 1.1.2.2.6 NAME 'eba-instancia-black'
        SUP eba-instancia
        MUST ( eba-other ))

and in my OpenLDAP there are multiple objects of these
classes.

Does anyone know why these sentences don't work? (they don't
find any objects):
   > ldapsearch -x -b 'base' '(objectClass=eba-instancia*)'
   > ldapsearch -x -b 'base'
'(objectClass=eba-instancia*red)'

but these sentences work fine  (they find the correctly
object):
   > ldapsearch -x -b 'base'
'(objectClass=eba-instancia-red)'
   > ldapsearch -x -b 'base'
'(objectClass=eba-instancia-black)'

It seems that the * character in the filter doesn't work with
the objectClass
attribute, but this character works well with any other
attribute (cn, sn, ....).

Thank you for your help.
