Horizontal Partitioning with Wildcard Support

Horizontal partitioning now supports a wildcard asterisk (*) as an attribute type. The wildcard asterisk partitions all the objects in the scope of the horizontally partitioned set of DSAs.

Example: Horizontally Partitioned set of DSAs

The DSAs have the following prefixes:

prefix       = <c AU><o Users><* "[hash1(4)=0]">
prefix       = <c AU><o Users><* "[hash1(4)=1]">
prefix       = <c AU><o Users><* "[hash1(4)=2]">
prefix       = <c AU><o Users><* "[hash1(4)=3]">

Following are examples for partitioning the objects by commonName, uid, and so on:

<c AU><o Users><cn "Craig LINK">
<c AU><o Users><uid 456788>
