LDAP Search Directory Parameters

Metastorm

The information in this article applies to product: e-Work 6 and 6.1 Designer User Manual

Issue

• The version 6 and 6.1 Designer User Manual give the following incorrect syntax for the LDAP Search:

  "&((objectClass=User)(OU=development))" returns all results where the object class is User and the OU is development.

  "|((objectClass=User)(OU=development))" returns all results where the object class is User OR the OU is development.

  %Result:=%LDAPSearch(Directory1,"\[objectClass=inetOrgPerson\]","cn",)

Resolution

• The correct syntax is:

  "(&(objectClass=User)(OU=development))" returns all results where the object class is User and the OU is development. (Note that the '&' is between the parentheses.)

  "(|(objectClass=User)(OU=development))" returns all results where the object class is User OR the OU is development. (Note that the '|' is between the parentheses.)

  %Result:=%LDAPSearch(Directory1,"(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)","cn",) (Note parentheses instead of brackets.)
