[Fedora-directory-users] Search filters with 'tab' (\09)

[Andrey Ivanov]

Thanks for a rapid reply.

No, no leading tab. The value in the database is and was always ok and
without 'tab'. (your strings command gives me '=user1'). I was simply
creating a perl script and saw that if i enter the uid with or without
tab the ldap server returns the entry anyway which i found to be
strange because i escape the values in the filter...

You can add '\09' in the beginning and/or at the end of any ldap
filter and it continues to work with FDS (you can try on your own
server smth like "(uid=\09rmeggins\09\09)"...

Don't know whether it is normal :)
