[Server] Question on filters and server bug

[Stefan Seelmann <se...@apache.org>]

Hi dev,

I have a question on filters.

This filter returns no entries, as no entry matches, that's ok:
(cn=*x*y*z*)

However when I escape the second, third and fourth asterisk the server
returns all entries containing an "cn" attribute:
(cn=*x\*y\*z\*) or (cn=*x\2Ay\2Az\2A)

Are those valid filters?

Independent, if they are valid or not, I think the server (I'm using
1.5.2) shouldn't return all enties. Should I raise a Jira? Or am I
totally wrong?

Kind Regards,
Stefan
