RECOMMENDATION:

If * is used as the pattern to search for all users or groups in LDAP User Registry it is noticed that no users or groups are returned. When looking into the traces an exception is seen on the traces that points to a Regex error.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
When * was used, the code was converting the pattern to .* which is not supported by LDAP. The code has been updated to prevent this change in behavior.
