90483 - Address lookup doesn't return group/mail aliases

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 12409

(MailNews Core :: LDAP Integration, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Didier Moens]

I've converted the /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/postfix/aliases (=RFC 822)
files on a RH7.1 system to an OpenLDAP 2.07 database, by means if the included
Migration Tools (PADL Software).

Subsequent querying of the LDAP database through the Mozilla Mail
autocomplete-function only yields result sets from the /etc/password file.

This is quite uncomfortable when e.g. querying for mail aliases, mail groups, etc.

From the slapd server logs, it seems as if an ""-filter is invoked. When
applying this filter directly by means of 'ldapsearch', I get an satisfying
result set, be it without the 'mail'-attribute.

Attached is a text file with a sample entry of the ldif-converted /etc/password,
/etc/groups , /etc/postfix/aliases files, and the result of a manual ldapsearch.


Expected behaviour : mail groups and aliases should be included in the results set.

I don't think this but is dup of 17879. Reopening this one
I think there is a similar bug assigned to dmose.

Taking; this is an autocomplete search-filter related thing.
