Bob,
Well I use '12345' and '1st' and '1' and those worked OK for me as the OU
value. I did not do a query for that specific field, but the OU field was
returned as part of the query, even when it was empty.
I added these with the IMail Admin, Attributes, Add and gave then name of
'OU'. However, if I tried 'editing' them in the 'Attribute, Value' field,
that seem not to work and often IMail reverted to reporting the value for
the 'Department' (which it says is the 'OrganizationalUnit' field) field in
the General tab (for that user).
So that makes me wonder how you were 'changing' the data?
You might try the 'Optimize LDAP' button on the General tab, when that users
domain is highlighted. That does some LDAP housekeeping and often helps.
I tried your LDAP and when I looked for 'Full Name' contains 'a', I got a
few records and then my LDAP client closed all by itself (it has not done
that before!). Searching for other characters (e,i,o,u) returned 100 answers
and did not close the client. The last name I saw in the 'a' search, was
'Amie Nugent', so either here record or the next one (OK, maybe the next
few) might have a 'bad' record. I'd tell you to 'Initialize IMail LDAP, but
that will cause the loss of data you already entered and I don't want to be
the cause of your frustration. You might try deleting a few users, first, to
see if that helps and points you to the problem record, first.
I just tried some other combinations and 'al' in the Full Name, also caused
the client to close unexpectedly, but only once, later tries returned 100
records. Weird!!!

Subject: [IMail Forum] ldap queries if numbers are involved
I am attempting to use LDAP and have been unable to us it for my OU
attribute.
I just ran across something interesting but not sure if I'm correct.
Here's what I've done:
1. I had single character OU values so I changed them to be larger...
they were for grades in a K-12 school 1 through 5. I changed
them to 1st, 2nd, ....
Before the change I could get nothing looked up with the OU value. Now,
after the change, I can get other things to look up (other OU values than
the numbers) but I still cannot get the 1st, 2nd, etc to query successfully
on the OU value. If I query on another attribute,such as the cn or sn, the
value of OU will display. I just cannot query against the ou value...
so, has anyone else gotten LDAP in iMail to query against an attribute that
begins with numbers? I'm just looking to see if that may be the issue...
I have imail 6.05
thanks, bob
