RE: Difficulty searching by groupOfNames member

[Kristin Engstrom <Kristin.Engstrom@netiq.com>]

Alas, I cannot even get Jessica Coffin (the first member listed) to show up.

---------------------------------------------------
I used:

ldapsearch -x -b "dc=netiq,dc=com" -D "cn=Manager,dc=netiq,dc=com" -w secret

"(&(objectclass=groupOfNames)(member=cn=Jessica Coffin, o=CustomerN,
dc=netiq, dc=com))"

And 

ldapsearch -x -b "dc=netiq,dc=com" -D "cn=Manager,dc=netiq,dc=com" -w secret

"(objectclass=groupOfNames)"

still returns all the groups as I would expect.
----------------------------------------------------

My project depends on being able to search by member, regardless of where
the member appears in the list of attributes.

Thanks for the input.  I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble
with this.  If anyone figures this one out, I'll be eager to hear the
solution.  Likewise, if I learn anything new, I'll post it.

Kristin

I've got the same problem. But I noticed that if I search the first member
in the group (cn=Jessica Coffin in your case), the result is OK..

Can't wait the answer...
