Re: Substrings any match on an empty string
What if the assertion syntax requires >0 octets? And/or what if the
substring matching rule has a special provision for the empty value?

Wouldn't this just be equivalent to a presence filter on that
attribute.
We should have a statement in the LDAP protocols draft saying that the
filter that you describe is equivalent to a presence match.

Hi all,
Does anyone have an answer to this question:
If I specify a filter of type 'substrings' where the substrings
contain
only an 'any' with a zero-length value, should I return all entries
containing the attribute?
It seems to me that the empty string is a substring of all strings.
I've looked in RFC 2251, X.511 and X.520 but have not seen a statement
which I could interpret as answering this question.
Thanks for your help,
Ron
