I just filed it http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi?findid=5034 It may be duplicated reported, I seem to recall when I was doing a google search on how to use '-E' I came across a page someone reported this issue (he used '-e' rather then '-E'), but I can never find that webpage again today. > > > My story is like Piotr Wadas but I do have too many values for an > > attribute in different language versions, is it possible to only return > > values in the language version I specified? > > cn=Wong Penghui > > cn;lang-zh=Wang Penghui > > cn;lang-de=... > > > > Now search for cn=*Penghui and wish to only return result in certain > > language, is it possible? > > I don't know, but I guess so.

Yes but in most cases I am troubled with, eerm, getting only the default language version, that is getting only "cn=Wong Penghui" but not "cn;lang-zh=Wang Penghui" -E mv="cn=*Penghui" wouldn't work because by RFC 2596, server should think cn;lang-zh=Wang Penghui matches cn=*Penghui
