Re: ldpsearch filter showing all records.

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 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:

# extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <ou=people,dc=example,dc=com> with scope subtree # filter: objectclass=inetOrgPerson # requesting: uid=rjsmith #

# test1, people, example.com dn: cn=test1,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

# test2, people, 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
