Did you actually read what I wrote before? > I have a test that I want to succeed: > [..] > search_filter='(|(&(objectClass=*)(member=uid=usera,ou=Unit > A,ou=Users,ou=testing,dc=example,dc=org)))'' # ths one was just for > checking if this works > search_groups = lo.search_st(base_dn, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, > search_filter) > > (yes this works but I don't want to need to know all those stuff after > the uid=usera) You have to deal with all those "stuff after the uid=usera". Hint: In MS AD the DN of the user's entry does not even start with uid=! If you don't follow the concepts I described you will fail finishing this project correctly.

Again: There may be user entries which do not have attribute 'uid' at all! Believe me, you're oversimplifying things. > And I have a part of record record: > 'member': ['cn=dummy', 'uid=usera,ou=Unit > A,ou=Users,ou=testing,dc=example,dc=org'] Don't request attribute 'member' during group lookup. Your application just have to know in which groups a user is member of. It should not retrieve all members since that can be many! > And I only want to search for uid=usera, not the rest of the record. Explicitly set the requested attributes with argument attrlist.
