The filter looks O.K. to me. It should match objects that have the mail attribute set and uid=$userid or cn=$userid. I.e. it suffices if one of uid or cn matches. Do you mean it fails to find entries that have the uid attribute set, but miss the cn attribute (or vice versa)? It so, then it might be a problem with the data in the directory or the directory configuration. Regars Peter -- Peter Marschall [EMAIL PROTECTED]
