https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9393 Issue ID: 9393 Summary: Provider a LDAP filter validation function Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.4.56 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: libraries Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: best(a)univention.de Target Milestone: --- In many situations I need to validate if a user submitted LDAP filter has valid syntax. It seems there is no official function to check this. Could you provide one? libraries/libldap/filter.c: ldap_pvt_put_filter() can be used as a basis. -- My current workaround is using a unconnected ldap connection and do a search with that filter. This yields a FILTER_ERROR (invalid filter) or a SERVER_DOWN error (invalid filter).
