Known Issues

1) In some instances, the 4.9 client will fail to find a user due to the type of ldap search filter created. This can be easily rectified by either changing the attributes that the client is searching for or by updating the trustee assignments. See TID #10085685 - LDAP Search not returning any entries for some filters that 'OR' search components for details.
