Yes, indeed this is our case. I had to manually slapindex, then only we got
the correct result (even though we have specified the attribute to index
automatically in slapd.conf).

However, do we have to slapindex nightly since this is a case, or is this a
bug (we're using openldap 2.4.19)?

Thanks.
