Ldap lookup fail for some users

I noticed some users do not show up in search

And if i look in one of the groups, the missing users show up like this : cn=user,ou=someou,ou=kh,o=tree@spark.domain.com

from the debuglog:

working: LdapManager: Trying to find a user’s DN based on their username. uid: someuser, Base DN: O=“TREE”…

NOT working: LdapManager: Trying to find a user’s DN based on their username. uid: cn=user,ou=someou,ou=kh,o=tree, Base DN: O=“TREE”…

Using openfire 3.6.2

problem solved… Novell was using “cn” instead of “uid”
