Querying an LDAP directory

Querying an LDAP directory
The
cfldap
tag lets you search an LDAP directory. The tag returns a ColdFusion query object
with the results, which you can use as you would any query result. When you query an LDAP
directory, you specify the directory entry where the search starts and the attributes whose values to
return. You can specify the search scope and attribute content filtering rules and use other
attributes to further control the search.
Scope
The search
scope
sets the limits of a search. The default scope is the level below the distinguished
name specified in the
start
attribute. This scope does not include the entry identified by the
start
attribute. For example, if the
start
attribute is “ou=support, o=macromedia” the level
below support is searched. You can restrict a query to the level of the
start
entry, or extend it to
the entire subtree below the
start
entry.
Search filter
The search filter syntax has the form
attribute operator value.
The default filter, objectclass=*,
returns all entries in the scope.
The following table lists the filter operators:
modifyDN
server, dn, attributes
port, username, password, timeout, secure, rebind,
referral
delete
server, dn
port, username, password, timeout, secure, rebind,
referral
Operator
Example
Matches
=*
(mail=*)
All entries that contain a mail attribute.
=
(o=macromedia)
Entries in which the organization name is macromedia.
~=
(sn~=Hansen)
Entries with a surname that approximates Hansen. The
matching rules for approximate matches vary among directory
vendors, but anything that "sounds like" the search string
should be matched. In this example, the directory server might
return entries with the surnames Hansen and Hanson.
>=
(st>=ma)
The name "ma" and names appearing after "ma" in an
alphabetical state attribute list.
<=
(st<=ma)
The name "ma" and names appearing before "ma" in an
alphabetical state attribute list.
*
(o=macro*)
Organization names that start with "macro".
(o=*media)
Organization names that end with "media".
(o=mac*ia)
Organization names that start with "mac" and end with "ia". You
can use more than one * operator in a string; for example,
m*ro*dia.
(o=*med*)
Organization names that contain the string "med", including the
exact string match "med".
