RE: searching for >=

["Mike Denka" <mdenk@whidbey.net>]

OK.  This nearly answers my last.  I guess the question remains whether
the consequences of mucking with standard schema are severe.  The
compatability issue is pretty obvious.  Any other issues to be aware of?

Also, defining my own attribute type would not allow me to search on
existing uidnumbers unless it somehow aliases those existing attributes.
Any way to do that?

Thanks,

Mike

You must add
  ORDERING integerOrderingMatch
after the EQUALITY rule for uidNumber in etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema.
Or better, define your own attribute type with such an own ORDERING
rule, so you won't have to hack the standard schema.
