Environment
eDirectory 9
Situation
Substring searches fail on any attribute with a DN syntax
LDAP error: 18 (Inappropriate matching)
ldap2NDSSearchFilter: substring match used on unsupported syntax
nds_back_search: ldap2NDSSearchFilter failed with err 18 (0x12)
Resolution
This is per design. Only presence and exact searches are supported on
attributes with a DN syntax. For example, the following two search
filters are accepted:
- (seealso=*)
- (seealso=cn=jim,o=novell)
This search filter will not be accepted:
- (seealso=*jim*)
- (seealso=*)
- (seealso=cn=jim,o=novell)
This search filter will not be accepted:
- (seealso=*jim*)
