Hello, Here is a simple example of what exactly do I need regarding ? wildcard. Assume the following entries are present in directory: cn=alna,dc=example,dc=com cn=al*i*na,dc=example,dc=com cn=al*a*na,dc=example,dc=com cn=al*ii*na,dc=example,dc=com cn=al*aaa*na,dc=example,dc=com So, filter *(cn=al?na) *would match only entries: cn=alna,dc=example,dc=com cn=al*i*na,dc=example,dc=com cn=al*a*na,dc=example,dc=com i.e. zero or one character.
Currently I have to use wildcard * instead of ? for search and then additionally check each resulting entry to match correct regular expression. Would be nice if OpenLDAP would perform it on server side. Best Regards, Alina. On 4/29/07, Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I know that OpenLDAP supports regex within ACLs, but I don't think there is support for a regex in a filter. (Vanilla LDAP definitely does not support this.) Who knows though? There may be a patch out there for it floating around. Anyway, give a few examples of what you are trying to do. Perhaps you are looking at this from the wrong angle. --- Puryear Information Technology, LLC Baton Rouge, LA * 225-706-8414 http://www.puryear-it.com Author: "Best Practices for Managing Linux and UNIX Servers" "Spam Fighting and Email Security in the 21st Century" Download your free copies: http://www.puryear-it.com/publications.htm Alina Dubrovska wrote: > Hello! > > Is it possible to create a filter for LDAP search containing a wildcard: > ?
