I'm using an open source software called LDAP Account Manager to manage ldap users, groups, and hosts for my company. I'm having a weird problem though, and I was hoping someone could give me an idea what's happening on the LDAP side of things as opposed to the actual software.
So here's the problem in a nutshell.
The software can find all users at the following suffix:
ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=xxxx,dc=com
When I try to view the details of one of these users, I get an error that says:
Bad search filter
Here's the weird part. When I add a new user, the entry appears with the other users at the same suffix.
ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=xxxx,dc=com
In other words, all of the users (the old ones that were already in the LDAP tree, and the new one I added, exist in the same place).
I can navigate to the new user at:
CN=User, Test,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=xxxxx,dc=com
But I can't navigate to any of the existing users at this location (I get the Bad Search Filter error):
CN=Fakename, John,ou=Users,ou=Accounts,dc=xxxxx,dc=com
This seems inconsistent, and I'm trying to brainstorm what could be happening. The users exist in the same location, but I get an error when accessing some, but not others. Could this be a permissions issue, or is there something I am missing?
