Well, you may have helped uncover something. I thought I had indexes When I look at config in ApacheStudio it shows the indexes on the partitions. When I looked at config file, I noted the following index attributes were missing.
ads-enabled: TRUE ads-indexcachesize: 100 Note, a few partitions I was testing were created dynamically and not through the Studio. Hence I was responsible for those missing. So, I added ads-enabled: TRUE to the UID index for the partition. Restarted AD. Ran test search which failed with same results. I then added a new entry to the partition and ran search again. It now finds the entry with UID. So, it this possibly the issue ? When I search with filter (objectClass=namedObject) it always worked. Does 'x=*' have to be indexed, whereas '=' searches anything ? I have been suffering for a while with so many filters not working with (x=*). My confusion has been based on 1) I was testing with one partition which evidently was a partition created from the Studio and I was comparing behavior to the new dynamic created partition. 2) In ADStudio, the configs visually appear the same regarding indexes. I am back to recreating all test partitions etc and see if this changes things. Thanks.
