RE: Querying an Active Directory memberOf Attribute

I think you've made the mistake of imagining that contains(A,B) tests
whether the set A includes an item equal to B. If you read the spec, you'll
see that it actually tests whether the string A contains B as a substring.
To test the first condition, use A=B.
