ldapsearch doesnt work.

Hii All,

I am new to this forum so i dont know where to post. sory for that.

I am using openldap v2.3 on redhat el4. When i run ldapsearch it returns all the entries. The command runs successfully. But when I run the ldapsearch with following filter option it doesnt work and immediately returns to the shell.

ldapsearch uidNumber>=2000

I've started slapd in debug mode so that i can trace for the errors. When i run this command there is no error shown there i.e. err=0.

Some similar search results are as follows :

$ ldapsearch -x -L "(&(gidNumber=102)(uidNumber>=2000))"
version: 1

#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope subtree
# filter: (&(gidNumber=102)(uidNumber>=2000))
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result

# numResponses: 1

$ ldapsearch -x -L "(&(gidNumber=102)(uidNumber>2000))"
version: 1

#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope subtree
# filter: (&(gidNumber=102)(uidNumber>2000))
# requesting: ALL
#

ldapsearch: ldap_search_ext: Bad search filter (-7)

I think ldap server is accepting only '=' searchfilter. It is not able to take '>' , '>=' etc. type of search filters.

But y so ?

can anybody please help me.
