AXIS 700 User’s Manual Appendix B: LDAP 79

The attribute types are used to create search filters. There are six types of basic search filters and the syntax of the filters is in the <attribute><operator><value> format. Complex search filters can easily be constructed by combining these basic search filters and other complex filters using the Boolean oper tions AND, OR and NOT. The six basic filter components are presented in the table belo:

n	n	m	u
Equality		(	￿YDOXH!)	(	6PLWK)	Surnames exactly
						equal to Smith.

						example, that
