I tried to setup Openfire using ldap connection, openfire 4.0.1,
I used ApacheDS as the ldap server, ApacheDS 2.0.0 M20
and imported the sample ldif file, a SevenSeas organization with 12 pirates (inetorgperson) all with uid and userpassword attribute.
I added another inetorgperson with uid and userpassword.
Then I tried to have openfire connect to the ldap to search for users.
server type: other or unknown
host: 127.0.0.1 port:10389
baseDN: ou=people,o=sevenSeas
Administrator DN: uid=admin;ou=system (default server administrator)
tests connection setting successful.
however then when I go on to user mapping, the test gave error
Status: Error
No users were found using the specified configuration. Try changing the base DN, user filter or username field.
I had the Username field set as uid, the default
having no success, I pressed save and continue
then I found in the openfire log file

I have no idea what a filter: (uid=*:[13]) mean, although I have 13 people in the group, and when I put in the same search in Apache DS studio, it returns no result.
However when I remove the ":[13]", such that the filter becomes just "uid=*", or when I just completely removes the search filter. the search in Apache DS studio returns fine with the 13 people.
I have no idea why openfire will add the number of entries in the the search filter (I tried removing the inetorgperson I added, then it became uid=*:[12]), if that be a bug or a misconfiguration by me, some help or tips will be very much appreciated.
One more thing I noticed is that when I try to restart ldap configuration hence the profile setting, the baseDN and administratorDN is not saved, such that it appears in the web just as o= and uid=, however the host, port, admin password was saved, hence I do not know if the baseDN and administratorDN is actually saved, though I suspect it be so because I tried enabling anonymous access in ApacheDS but the search still returns no result.
