Support for Active Directory ObjectCategory Indexing Attribute

Unlike other LDAP-compatible directories, Active Directory does not index policy store objects using the objectClass attribute by default. Instead, the objects are indexed by the objectCategory attribute. To enhance searches, you can either configure objectClass as an indexable attribute (see the Active Directory documentation) or enable objectCategory support in the Policy Server.
