        We have used directory 389 for many years
          having migrated forward from the iPlanet/Sun version. Back
          when we were on Sun we discovered that any attribute listed in
          an ACI where we wanted to use a wildcard had to have the
          attribute name in all lower case. For instance, if we wanted
          to reference myAttribute* when we had (myAttributeName1,
          myAttributeName2, etc) then in the ACI it had to be
          myattribute*. This holds true up through at least 1.2.11.15
          which is our current production.
         
        We are now testing 1.3.5.13, hoping to move
          our production forward into that. We’d been having trouble
          with some of our processes and have discovered that in the
          ACIs now the wildcard problem has switched its case
          sensitivity. In the newer server we have to change all our
          wildcard attributes to myAttribute*. I haven’t checked through
          all our schema values to see if there will be some spec’d with
          all lowercase (that is not our naming policy but we need to
          check). I also note that if the attribute is spelled out
          completely then it doesn’t care about the case at all.
         
        This seems to me to have been a bug in the
          old one and is a bug in the new one. Has anyone come up
          against this and have anything to add?
      
    
    Sounds like a bug.  The attribute name in the ACI should be case
    insensitive.  Can you please file a ticket for this issue?
