RE: searching based on dn

[Jeff Costlow <j.costlow@f5.com>]

Is the below faster than searching like this:

$mesg = $ldap->search(
	base   => "dc=alberta,dc=ca",
	filter => "uid=bard",
	scope  => "base" );

Or are they the same?
(I assume the answer will be valid for both perl and for C APIs, and I'm assuming the answer will be relevant to an OpenLDAP server, not anyone else's implementation.)

(I switched the message over to the openldap-software mailing list, as I think it might be more appropriate there)

use
$mesg = $ldap->search(
	base   => "dn=uid=bard,dc=ualberta,dc=ca",
	filter => "objectclass=*",
	scope  => "base" );
