Re: search for DN (Filter)

["François Beretti" <francois.beretti@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I don't know if it has something to do with the initial question, but
sometimes I want to make a search such as:
filter:
(|(dn=uid=user1,ou=users,dc=domain)(dn=uid=user2,ou=users,dc=domain)(dn=uid=user3,ou=users,dc=domain))
attributes: some attribute

so I get in one request all the values of the attribute for the three users
(maybe this example is not a good one, but in my software I really need such
a thing, believe me)

in openldap it seems not to be possible, while it is possible on other LDAP
servers, that allow me to use a special attribute, like entrydn on iPlanet,
or distinguishedName on Active Directory.

am I wrong ?

Regards,

François
