SYMPTOMS
When you perform an LDAP search that uses the extensibleMatch search filter to search the Active Directory objects of a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server-based computer, you may receive the following error message:
CAUSE
This problem occurs when Active Directory processes an LDAP search request that does not explicitly specify the dnAttributes of the extensibleMatch filter. If you use the default value in the dnAttributes field, you do not have to explicitly specify the dnAttributes value in the search request. The default value for the dnAttributes field is set as FALSE. Active Directory omits the dnAttributes field when processing an LDAP search request if the dnAttributes field is not specified explicitly.

MORE INFORMATION
The extensibleMatch search filter is a new search filter that is included in LDAP version 3. The extensibleMatch search filter uses four fields. Two of the fields are optional and one field is a BOOLEAN field that has a default value. The extensibleMatch search filter fields are defined as follows:
- type - An optional field that is used to specify an attribute.
- matchingRule - An optional field that is used to specify a matching rule.
- matchValue - A field that is used to specify the value that is to be searched.
- dnAttributes - A BOOLEAN field that returns the status of an LDAP search. If the LDAP search is successful, the dnAttributes field returns TRUE. If the LDAP search fails, the dnAttributes field returns FALSE. The default value for this field is set as FALSE.
For example, consider the following text string:
:dn:2.4.6.8.10:=Sample Entry
In this sample, :dn is the attribute name, 2.4.6.8.10 is the matching rule, and Sample Entry is the name of the value that is to be searched in Active Directory.
