First off I generally try to dissuade folks from using the SQL format for
querying LDAP directories, it makes developers think capability exists that
doesn't. 

Second, mail attribute is not going to have any type of address other than
SMTP. 

Third, an X500 address would be unusual, do you mean X400 address? Every
mailbox has an X400 address by default, that will be maintained in
proxyAddresses and textEncodedOrAddress (same value in both). The only
default X500 address in Exchange would be what is used for the
legacyExchangeDN which is not maintained in proxyAddresses. The only time
you would have an X500 in proxyAddresses is if you manually added it (say
you modified the LEDN and wanted to keep the old one around for routing,
permissions, etc).

Subject: [ActiveDir] Query for user AD info from web application

Our internet web application use AD to pull user information. They start
with the users email address and then look up other information.

We've notice today that if a user has a X500 address our query doesn't
work.

Here's what the web developer sent me

SELECT displayName FROM 'GC://DOMAIN.COM' WHERE
objectCategory='organizationalPerson' AND ((mail = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'))

I don't know why a X500 address would mess this up, ideas?

Thanks,jb
