Re: BasicAttribute with filter options

["Mauricio Alarcon" <mauricio.alarcon@tecnovas.com>]

Hello
Loking in the jdni tutorial I saw that it's imposible to do a filter based
search using BasicAttribute, so it was necesary to change my code to use a
filter and remove the attributes that we dont use!

Thanks
