Description Florian Best

2016-09-14 12:40:33 CEST

Merge to UCS 4.1:
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #42181 +++

(in UCS 3.X) UMC assumes all searches as subtring. 

(in UCS 4.1) In Bug #37904 EQ search is added to the default search filter. 

For simple purposes, a backport to UCS 3.X of Bug #37904 is enough, but I would add options so that the user can specify the form of search they desire (eg: according to the indices they have defined in slapd.conf) and not only EQ and SUBSTR.



+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #37904 +++

Noted during a technical training: It's not possible to search by GID: 

- Open the "Groups" module in the UMC
- Select "Advanced Options" and the property "Group ID"
- Enter thr GID of an existing group (e.g. 5001 which is usually Domain Users")

-> No result in found.

2 new UCR variables were added, which are documented very sparsely and not referenced by either this bug nor the linked errata description. So here's the missing documentation:

 directory/manager/web/auto_substring_search:
  By default '*' gets added at the beginning and at the end of every search value converting it automatically to a sub-string search.
  This breaks LDAP attributes which have no SUBSTR search defined, e.g.
   univention-ldapsearch -LLLo ldif-wrap=no -s base -b cn=Subschema attributeTypes | grep -v SUBSTR
 Therefore this can be disabled by setting it explicitly to 'false'.
 

 directory/manager/web/allow_wildcard_search:
  This setting can be used to disable wildcard search completely.
  Substring searches are a lot more expensive in large environments.
  If explicitly set to 'false', '*' is escaped and thus handled as a normal character.
