Hi,

You may want to try

ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -b "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W "(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson) (uid=ldap-admin))"

if you want the details of user having uid as ldap-admin and ObjectClass as inetOrgPerson

Thanks Surya

Hello Surya,

Thanks a lot.... :-) The search is working as expected. Wish you a nice time.

Hello list,

My filter on ldapsearch is not working as expected but showing all the
records.

If I simply do an search on object class like below it shows all
records
belong to that object

 ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -b "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -x
"objectclass=inetOrgPerson"  -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W

Now to redifine the filter.  Want to result where gid=rjsmith

` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -b "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -x
"objectclass=inetOrgPerson" uid=rjsmith  -D
"cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W
Enter LDAP Password:

# base <ou=people,dc=example,dc=com> with scope subtree
# filter: objectclass=inetOrgPerson
# requesting: uid=rjsmith
#

# test1, people, example.com <http://example.com>
dn: cn=test1,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

# test2, people, example.com <http://example.com>
dn: cn=test2,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 3
# numEntries: 2

` ` ` ` ` `

Again both the results are showing.   something wrong in my  filter  ?
Please enlighten me.

Thanks
