Searching for userCertificate

[Graham Leggett]

Hi all,

I am trying to research how it might be possible to do a directory search for an exact match on a digital certificate storing in userCertificate. Most specifically, I want to do a simple lookup based on a binary match of the cert, its not enough to do the combination of DN and serial number.

Does anyone know whether a simple search will work with 389ds or if there are any gotchas to look out for? Some googling would suggest that openldap can’t do it, I was wondering if 389ds had the same problem.

Regards,
Graham

A simple equality search should work.

389 doesn't support the certificate syntax and matching rules 
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/215
389 uses octetString for the syntax and matching rules for userCertificate
