Customer has a Sametime 12.0.3 Windows Server which use Domino LDAP directory.
End users use Notes 14.x embedded Sametime client to access this Sametime Server.
This Domino LDAP server has set up DJX (Domino Japanese Extension) , users are assigned Japanese Altname by DJX tool, and Administrator created user group with Japanese Name members.
Here is the sample of ldif file for "TestGroup" group which has members with Japanese Name:

***********************************************
While add this "TestGroup" as public group into Sametime Contact List on Notes client.
This group shows empty (0/0) even some members are online.
And when try to show members (contents) of this group, it shows empty
You can refer to the screenshot attached.
After discussed with Sametime L3, we found current Sametime 12.0.3 Server can't handle the above Japanese name members group which was created on DJX enabled Domino LDAP server.
Please consider to support this kind group in future release.
(L3 suggest that ”Provide support for ST_DB_LDAP_ALLOW_SEARCH_ON_DN in Group Membership Searches" can resolve this).
