Usage Examples
The following are examples of the string representations of extensible match search filter that are
supported in eDirectory 8.7.3 onwards.
(o:dn:=Ace Industry)
This example illustrates the use of the :dn notation. The attributes of an entry’s distinguished name
should be considered part of the entry when evaluating the match. It denotes an equality match.
(:dn:2.4.8.10:=Dino)
This example is a filter that should be applied to any attribute of an entry. Attributes contained in the
DN with the matching rule 2.4.8.10 should also be considered.
The following are some examples of the string representation of extensible match search filter that
are
not supported in eDirectory 8.7.3:
(cn:1.2.3.4.5:=John Smith)
This example illustrates a filter that specifies the attributes type cn and value John Smith. It
mandates that the match should be performed by the directory server according to the matching rule
identified by the oid 1.2.3.4.5.
(sn:dn:2.4.6.8.10:=Barbara Jones)
This example illustrates the use of the :dn notation to indicate that matching rule 2.4.6.8.10 should
be used when making comparisons, and that the attributes of an entry’s distinguished name should
be considered part of the entry when evaluating the match.
