find by sambaSID in the ldap database

[southhoenir]

Hi All,

I am new with ldap. (do not touch me hard if it is stupid question. )

I have installed openldap and samba. When I try to add winXP host to samba PDC I get error that says user was not found. I investigated logs and found samba can not find root user by sambaSID in the ldap database. I tried find the same with ldapsearch and was really confused:

# ldapsearch -x -LLL -b dc=BASE_DC "(&(sambaSID=*-1-5-21-3799508378-1435782882-3698212055-500)(objectclass=sambaSamAccount))"

can find root user with sambaSID: S-1-5-21-3799508378-1435782882-3698212055-500 but

# ldapsearch -x -LLL -b dc=BASE_DC "(&(sambaSID=S-1-5-21-3799508378-1435782882-3698212055-500)(objectclass=sambaSamAccount))"
can not find any user

Thanks
