From http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/doc/python-ldap/ldap-objects.html: --------------------------- snip --------------------------- The filterstr argument is a string representation of the filter to apply in the search. See Also: RFC 4515, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): String Representation of Search Filters. --------------------------- snip --------------------------- > search(base, scope [,filterstr='(objectClass=*)' [, attrlist=None [, > attrsonly=0]]]). > > For example: A filter sting which based on RFC4515 > (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc4515.html) is > "(&(objectclass=organizationalUnit)(c=*))". Yupp. That's exactly the string you have to pass to method search() and its derivates as argument filterstr. > From the docs of > python-ldap, the forms of the argument, ('cn=fred*') and > ('objectClass=*') can be found. Ouch! The example filterstr values on http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/doc/python-ldap/ldap-example.html are simply typos. Sorry for that.
