Querying the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol server

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) accesses the X.500 directory using text strings called filters. When these query strings pass to the LDAP server, the server returns the requested portions of the specified entity.

About this task

LDAP filters use attributes to simplify queries to the LDAP server. For example, you can use a filter such as "objectclass=person" to limit your query to entities that represent people as opposed to groups or equipment.
