Hi  Guys,

We have an NDS directory that's (very poorly) maintained by a
third party.  In this directory there are users with a weird zoo of
attributes.  My task is that I need to find e-Mail addresses for users.

My search term is a userid that can be matched (in NDS) by
either cn or uid.

My problem is that if I filter for
(&(|(uid=$userid)(cn=$userid))(mail=*))
the query returns NOTHING if a user happens not to have
a cn or a uid, while what I was hoping to get one of them
because of the or.

Is there a way around this, did I overlook an obvious switch
or parameter that will make the query not silently fail?  Right now
I've worked around this by running a second query for cn if
the one for uid doesn't return anything, but that seems quite
expensive.


Cheers,
Andrej
