Re: Question about ldap filter

Thanks. That allows me to build complex filters using OR logic without being worried about performance.

Thanks again, bytes!

Hi there:

I'm trying to understand how ldap filters work. Based on this simple logic expression:

EXPR_1 (or) EXPR_2

if EXPR1 returns TRUE, will slapd still try to evaluate EXPR2? or will slapd evaluate EXPR2 anyway even if EXPR_1 is true?

I think that while the ldap filter is bigger then performance is worse, right?

could somebody explain me a little about this logic of evaluation in ldap filters?

As far as I understand the code, test_filter() stops filtering, returning success, at the first occurrence of TRUE.
