Substring filter not working

[Jan G. <Jan...@po...>]

Hi, 

I'm using a Netscape Directory Server and perl-ldap-0.22/Convert::ASN1

Is there any special preparation for substring filters ?

If i submit a (uid=*234*) subtree search at the Netscape Console, it works as 
expected. The same filter submitted via perl-ldap does not return anything :( 
I tried it with \* and *, the result didn't change. 
Even digging with  perl -d didnt  help.

The LDAP::Filter manpage shows special characters for *, so the encoding 
should work for that asterisk. 

Any hint would be appreciated,
TIA

Create the Net::LDAP object with debug set to 12 and repeat your test. This
will dump out the protocol that Net::LDAP is sending to the server (and
back), and it may reveal that something's going wrong at this point.

Also are you setting your search base and scope correctly in Net::LDAP, and
are you authenticated appropriately?
