Description Ulf Weltman 2009-02-17 19:57:04 UTC

If you have add two test entries like this (note the empty title value in the second entry):
dn: uid=test1,dc=cup,dc=hp,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalperson
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: person
uid: test1
sn: test1
cn: test1
title: test1

dn: uid=test2,dc=cup,dc=hp,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalperson
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: person
uid: test2
sn: test2
cn: test2
title:

Then a search like this will return BOTH of them:
ldapsearch -b "dc=cup,dc=hp,dc=com" "title=*est*"

Comment 1 Ulf Weltman 2009-02-18 02:30:57 UTC

Actually this seems to be fixed in a build from the tip pulled about a week ago.  I haven't found the change that fixed it though.  Anyone recall fixing it? :)

Comment 2 Noriko Hosoi 2009-02-18 19:54:35 UTC

It works fine for me, too. :)  And I don't recall any fixes related to the bug...

How old was the server when you observed the bug?  Weeks?  Months?

Comment 3 Ulf Weltman 2009-02-18 20:05:46 UTC

I can reproduce the bug with 8.0 builds and it was originally reported in 6.11.

Comment 4 Noriko Hosoi 2009-02-18 20:15:39 UTC

Found it! Nathan fixed it recently.
