Web Authentication Fails with "Soundex Code" Error for Numerical ID's

Technote Number: 1095688


Problem:
This issue was reported to Lotus Quality Engineering and has been addressed in
Domino release 5.0.6.

Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino Release 5.0.6 QMR fix list:

Directory Services - LDAP
SPR# JCHN4P4KZW - Fixed a problem where entries in an LDAP directory that
consisted of four digits were thought to be Soundex codes. This fix will
properly only screen out 4 character entries where the first character is a
letter and the remaining three are digits

This was a deliberate design feature of the LDAP search function. Since
Soundex is a Domino-specific function, web authentication LDAP lookups based on
Soundex numerical codes would not be successful. Therefore, the server is
programmed to shut down any such search that contains what it considers to be a
Soundex code: a four character string, with the last three characters being
digits from 0 to 6 inclusive. In the case above, "1025" matches these criteria
perfectly.
Note that, if User 1025's full hierarchical name is given (i.e.
1025/OrgUnit/Org), then the search will proceed normally.
