I am trying to understand the difference between these 2 ldap searches, can anyone explain ?
ldapsearch --hostname localhost --baseDN "ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com" "(objectclass=*)" @groupOfUniqueNames
ldapsearch --hostname localhost --baseDN "ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com" "(objectclass=groupOfUniqueNames)"
What do we primarily mean by using @<objectclass> format ?
Thanks
Hi,
@<objectClass> is a stand in for all the attributes the object class contains.
The first search returns everything under baseDN but only shows attributes that are part of the groupOfUniqueNames object class on the returned objects.
The second one only returns objects with the groupOfUniqueNames object class under baseDN with all their (non-operative) attributes.
