How do you find the above key if the base isn't the parent?
That is, I have "uid=a,cn=b,cn=c,o=foo" (suffix of o=foo) and
I do a search -b "cn=c,o=foo" -s subtree "(uid=a)".
I do a lookup for:
<prefix>a|string_reverse(cn=c,o=foo)
but get zero keys returned as I only generated:
<prefix>a|string_reserve(cn=b,cn=c,o=foo)
