When i manually change the SelectionCriteria from

(&(ObjectClass=person)(mailserver=CN=MyServer/O=foo/C=de))

to

(&(ObjectClass=person)(mailserver=CN=MyServer*))

the group is populated. The same effect i encounter when browsing the LDAP server via Softterra LDAP Browser. The slash “/” seems not to be recognized. Is this an issue related to the OS or is it a known Domino error?

I have already deleted the schema.nsf and let LDAP create a new one on restart.

Not a big impact here as the server is about to be replaced by a new machine ( and OS ). But I have seen other entries here in the forum describing the same issue.

Any help / hint is appreciated.

Subject: I see “Error looking up name on LDAP Server” Dialog Box

Hello everybody:I see “Error looking up name on LDAP Server;…” Dialog Box,

every time I want to Delete a Person from the Tools option at People & Groups tab, in Domino Administrator client.

please help.

Subject: a Workaround

I have to uncheck “Delete user from this Domino Directory immediately” in order to Delete a Person.

Subject: error looking up name on ldap server when trying to delete

I got the same error when trying to delete a person document. It works fine in 7.0.3, but will not work in 8.5.1. The server in question is 8.5.1 and so is the nab, and the client is also 8.5.1

Subject: View may be missing

Just for completeness of the thread:Please check your DA’ed addressbooks. Those derived from pernames.ntf are missing view Server\Mail Users. This view is needed for auto-populate. The reason is: update looks for auto-populate in all DA’ed addressbooks, not only the primary addressbook.

Possible solution: Copy over the view from pubnames.ntf to your addressbook. The error might be gone then, and the group members are auto-populated.

Just one more reason to not use personal addressbooks for directory assistance.

Subject: 8.5.3 has this bug still

Unbeievable, but 8.5.3 has still the same bug. The only way to get autpop work was to fix group documents. I used…

FIELD SelectionCriteria:=“(&(ObjectClass=person)(mailserver=CN=MyServer*))”;

Subject: 8.5.3 does have the same problem

I am also having the problem, but only on one server called IBM and they was no help at all referred me to the technote that says they was going to fix it.

But the technote is a different problem I also had to manually choose my selection criteria.

Subject: Problem with auto populated group

You may want to use the DN_REV_PARSE=2 parameter in notes.ini and check if it works.

Details about parameter is in below technote.
