Searches for cn=x and commonname=x not returning same result.

[Jared Housh <jared-housh@utulsa.edu>]

Hello all,

After a few hours of fruitless searching I'm turning to you. Any idea
why a search for cn=x (ldapsearch cn=Jared*... no results) would turn up
different results from a search for commonname=x (ldapsearch
commonname=Jared*... results)? I had an ugly introduction to LDAP (Sun
misDirectory Services 1.0) and I'm finding openLDAP to be a whole new
world.

The relevant line from my slapd.at.conf is exactly as follows:

attribute commonName cn cis

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
