80 O AXIS 700 User’s Manual

Using the Boolean operators and a prefix notation, the basic filters can be combined to form more complex ones. The ‘&’ character represents AND, the ‘’ character represents OR and the ‘!’ character represents NOT. Here are some examples that explain how to do that:

n	n	m	u
AND		(&(<filter1>		(&(sn=smith)	Entries with
		)(<filter2>)		(objectclass	an object
		...)		=person))	class of
					person and a
					surname
					exactly
					equal to
					Smith.
OR		((<filter1>		((sn=smith)	Entries with
		)(<filter2>)		(cn=*smith))	a surname
		...)			exactly
					equal to
					Smith or a
					commonname
					ending in
					“smith”.
NOT		(!(<filter>)		(!(mail=*))	Entries
		)			without a
					mail
					attribute.

va	ο It is wise to create filters that sort out unwanted entries based on
	their object class. For example, in an address book, you might
	only want to retrieve entries of the “people” class, with the
	common name “John”, leaving out computers called John. This
	could be achieved with the following filter:
	(&(objectclass=person)(cn=john))
