So general advice is to define a better schema and sanitize your data.

Well, looking at the schema in FDS there's no such matching rule named 'caseExactIA5Match' (IMO the server shouldn't even start with such a mis-defined schema element declaration). The only caseExact* matching rules listed in the subschema are 'caseExactOrderingMatch-en' and 'caseExactSubstringMatch-en' which both does not look suitable to me. Strange enough there's not even an EQUALITY matching rule defined for attribute type 'memberUid' at all... I really wonder whether default matching rules are applied for certain LDAP syntaxes and how to find out which these are. Ciao, Michael.
