Description
From this PR, we needed a way to prevent NPE exceptions when a searchCriteria doesn't map to LDAP properties. However, returning an empty Properties object causes the query to return all results. So we need a way to prevent NPE result but also return an empty result.
Proposed fix is that if a searchCriteria doesn't map to LDAP properties, we then instead create a valid query that returns an empty result (i.e. limit result size to 0). This avoids returning null that can cause null pointer exceptions, and returns a valid query that returns an empty result as before.
