Filter

Using the filter, you can define criteria against which specific entries can be searched in the LDAP

database. One filter consists of one or more search criteria. A search criterion contains the query for

an LDAP attribute, e.

g. sn=%. The percent symbol (%) is a placeholder for the user entry.

LDAP name filter

The name filter decides which attribute is used for the search.

Example: (sn=%)

The percent symbol (%) is replaced by the name or part of the name entered by the user. If a user

enters the letter "A" for example, all entries in which the attribute sn begins with "A" are searched

for in the LDAP database . If the user then enters a "b", entries are searched in which the sn attrib

ute begins with "Ab".

LDAP number filter

The number filter stipulates the criteria for the automatic completion of telephone numbers.

Example: (|(telephoneNumber=%)(mobile=%))

The percent symbol (%) is then replaced by the part of the telephone number entered by the user.

When dialling, if a user enters the numbers "123" for example, all telephone numbers (office and

mobile) that begin with "123" are searched for in the LDAP database. The telephone number is

completed with the addition of information from the database.

Multiple criteria can be connected using logical AND (&) and/or OR (|) operators. The logical operators

"&" and "|" are placed before the search criteria. The search criterion must be placed in brackets and

the whole expression must be terminated with a bracket again. AND and OR operations can also be

combined.

Examples:

AND operation: (& (givenName=%) (mail=%))

Searches for entries in which the first name and mail address begin with the

letters entered by the user.

OR operation: (| (cn=%) (sn=%))

Searches for entries in which the common name or surname begin with the

letters entered by the user.

Combined operation: (|(& (givenName=%) (mail=%))(& (sn=%) (mail=%)))

Searches for entries in which the first name and mail address or the sur-

name and mail address begin with the letters entered by the user.
