    Question:

     

    Why Policy Server does wildcard LDAP searches on the attributes below ?

    We run a Policy Server which uses a LDAP Active Directory User Store and we see those wildcard search filters many times :

     

    userAccountControl=*

    pwdLastSet=*

    accountExpires=*

    UUID=*

    objectclass=*

    memberOf=*
