You are missing a key part of the question again: "Is there any chance we can use these filters TO GET lib389 objects of the type X". So for example: > On 3 May 2019, at 17:12, Anuj Borah <aborah@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > @William Brown > > Are there any chance we can use these filter with filter module directly . > > F1 = "(sn=Hall)" If you do: Groups(...).filter("sn=hall") No because it doesn't make sense for a group to match this. If you did: Person(...).filter("sn=hall") Yes! it would work. > F2 = "(nsRoleDN=cn=new managed role)" Groups(...).filter(nsRoleDn=...) Again, doesn't make sense. But: Accounts(...).filter(nsRoleDn=...) Would make sense, to show all Accounts that are part of the role. > F3 = "(l=sunnyvale)" Here, l= would make sense on things like: OrganisationUnits().filter("l=...") Person("l=...") > F4 = "(& (| {} {}) {})".format(F2, F1, F3) > F10 = "(& {} {})".format(F6, F9) Provdide the type you WANT would satisfy these conditions, yes. But you would be better to do: F4 = (&(cond)(cond)(cond)) Rather than str sub. Alternately, use gen_filter. So again - you are missing a key element of the question, which is "is this filter suitable to get objects of the type I need to work with". Lib389 doesn't think like "just search and get generic things" it thinks as "search and get strongly typed objects". > > topo.standalone.search_s(DEFAULT_SUFFIX, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, F4, ['cn', 'cn', 'cn']) > >>[dn: uid=bhall,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com > cn: Benjamin Hall > > ] > > topo.standalone.search_s(DEFAULT_SUFFIX, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, F10, ['mailquota', 'nsRoleDN']) > >> [dn: uid=mtyler,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com > mailquota: 600 > nsRoleDN: cn=new managed role,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com > > ] > > Regards > Anuj Borah > > On Mon, Apr 29, 2019 at 12:29 PM Anuj Borah <aborah@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Yes, it is. > > On Mon, Apr 29, 2019 at 11:17 AM William Brown <wbrown@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > On 29 Apr 2019, at 15:00, Anuj Borah <aborah@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > @William Brown > > > > Sorry my bad , syntax was wrong . > > > > (Pdb) len(Accounts(topo.standalone, DEFAULT_SUFFIX).filter("(testUserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=8388608, ['attrlist=cn:sn:uid:testUserAccountControl'])")) > > 6 > > > > Thanks . > > > > > > On Mon, Apr 29, 2019 at 10:26 AM Anuj Borah <aborah@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > @William Brown > > > > This is the filter : "testUserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=8388608", ['attrlist=cn:sn:uid:testUserAccountControl'] > > > > len(topo.standalone.search_s(DEFAULT_SUFFIX, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,"testUserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=8388608", ['attrlist=cn:sn:uid:testUserAccountControl'])) --- Thid one works . > > > 6 > > > > But the full filter does not fit with filter module . > > > > > (Pdb) len(Accounts(topo.standalone, DEFAULT_SUFFIX).filter("(testUserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=8388608)", ['attrlist=cn:sn:uid:testUserAccountControl'])) > > > *** TypeError: filter() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given > > > (Pdb) len(Accounts(topo.standalone, DEFAULT_SUFFIX).filter("(testUserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=8388608), ['attrlist=cn:sn:uid:testUserAccountControl']")) > > > *** ldap.FILTER_ERROR: {'desc': 'Bad search filter', 'errno': 2, 'info': 'No such file or directory'} > > > > > > Regards > > Anuj Borah > > > > That filter string seems really … uhh, interesting.
