Description

In RFC 2798 sec 2.4, the employeeNumber is defined as:

"Numeric or alphanumeric identifier assigned to a person, typically based on order of hire or association with an organization. Single valued."

Adding the value 'john.smith' to the field employeeNumber is allowed but when searching for it like this:
employeeNumber=john.smith

The exception below is thrown.
