First off, thanks for looking Daniel!
I have the max to return in the settings to 300. Querying a in the CN would return
more than that.
We do not have an issue of the OU value displaying correctly when quering for example
the CN attribute. The problem is when we attempt to query against the OU value with a
value of 1 or 1st.
For example, if you query for cn of bob test, you'll get two responses for test
accounts. If you look at the available attributes, you'll see the department (OU)
value as 'dob 1st'.
So now if you queried with the search value for department (OU) it should find the
entry for userid bobtest1, but it does not... that is what we are trying to get to
work.. however, if you query for department(OU) value of 'dob' multiple entries are
returned for our staff.
it's strange...
oh, I am changing values either with ldaper or with the mail administrator, probably
most with ldaper... I have done the optimize ldap many times with no success.... I
have created a batch file that will reload the attributes with ldaper so maybe I'll
come in over the weekend and initialize and reload the info and see what that does...
thanks again Daniel.... bob
