Re: Search Method returns 0 results

[Christoph N. <en...@ap...>]

I noticed that your base is different in the code and in the "ldapsearch".  
In the code you have "dc=mydomain,dc=com" and in the ldapsearch command
line you have "dc=mydomain, dc=com".  Now theoretically the space should
not matter, but I have had problems with this in OpenLDAP 1.2.11.  Try
adding the space in the Perl code and give it another shot.  Anyone had a
problem with this in OpenLDAP 2.0.7?
