RSA Version/Condition: 7.0.2
Issue
I tested this issue in 7.0.2 GA - P06 and issue is reproduced when filter query has carriage return.
Cause
Failing Queries
1)
(&(objectCategory=person)
(objectClass=user)
(sAMAccountName=*))
2)
(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)
(sAMAccountName=*))
3) Below query will fail inside the configuration as well.
(&
(objectCategory=person)
(objectClass=user)
(sAMAccountName=*))
(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=*)
(|(memberOf=CN=Group-1,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)
(memberOf=CN=Group-2,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)
(memberOf=CN=Group-3,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)
)
)
Resolution
Workaround
To resolve this issue, you can workaround this issue by removing the new line or apply P07 or higher(latest patch for IG&L 7.0.2 is P14)
Below are examples of working vs non-working filter queries as I tested:
Working filters (Where both Tests work fine)
1) (memberOf=CN=Group-1,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)
2) (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=*)(|(memberOf=CN=Group-3,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)))
3) (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=*)(|(memberOf=CN=Group-3,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)(memberOf=CN=Group-2,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)))
4) (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=*)(|(memberOf=CN=Group-1,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)(memberOf=CN=Group-2,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)(memberOf=CN=Group-3,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)(memberOf=CN=Group-4,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)(memberOf=CN=Group-5,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)(memberOf=CN=Group-6,OU=vcloud Users,DC=2k8r2-vcloud,DC=local)))
