Well, my gq says that the attribute uid is caseignoreMatch for 
*equality*. IOW it's a string subtype match. You can't "greater or 
equal" a string, you can glob it or whatever and be subject to its rules.

Nope, the filter is just wrong.

Much core.schema stuff is already built in to 2.3's slapd, that's why 
it's commented out in the text files. This attribute is one of them.

That's life for you ;) You have a wrong filter, yours can never work, 
you need to look at your logic again.

> Where did I found the definition?

This I can not parse. There is no other definition.
