When a uniquemember attribute contains escaped characters, an ldap search for that attribute will return null. Test case: Following entry is used in the test: ldapsearch ..... -b dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be cn=testgroup # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be> with scope subtree # filter: cn=testgroup # requesting: ALL # # testgroup, apps, groups, qas.viaa.be dn: cn=testgroup,ou=apps,ou=groups,dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be uniqueMember: mail=test\[email protected],ou=apps,ou=users,dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc= be uniqueMember: [email protected],ou=apps,ou=users,dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be cn: testgroup objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 Searching for [email protected] works fine: ldapsearch ...-b dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be '([email protected],ou=apps,ou=users,dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be)' dn # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be> with scope subtree # filter: ([email protected],ou=apps,ou=users,dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be) # requesting: dn # # testgroup, apps, groups, qas.viaa.be dn: cn=testgroup,ou=apps,ou=groups,dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 But searching for [email protected] returns null ldapsearch ... -b dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be '(uniqueMember=mail=test\[email protected],ou=apps,ou=users,dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be)' dn # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be> with scope subtree # filter: (uniqueMember=mail=test\[email protected],ou=apps,ou=users,dc=qas,dc=viaa,dc=be) # requesting: dn # # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success %# 3 numResponses: 1 I've tried different LDAP clients (openldap, Apache directory Studio, Ruby::Net::LDAP).
