Description zhangweiwu@realss.com 2007-07-01 01:43:37 UTC
Full_Name: Zhang Weiwu
Version: 2.3.35-r1
OS: Gentoo Linux

The -E option in ldapsearch is not mentioned in ldapsearch manual, as I have
tested on both openSuSE 10.2 and gentoo Linux. Unfortunately I don't know what
it means but it seems to be pretty useful and enabled extended search filter
like given in RFC 3876. Probably it means "extend filter", I guess.

An example of -E as being discussed on openldap-software list:

when I search with "cn=foo*", and entry has multiple "cn" values, like 

"cn=foo",
"cn=joe", 
"cn=foobar", 
"cn=foobarX", 
"cn=bob", 
"cn=nofoobar"

doing this search, it should only return
"cn=foo",
"cn=foobar", 
"cn=foobarX", 

$ ldapsearch -E mv="(cn=foo*)"

It is now, since OpenLDAP 2.3.28 I think.  Maybe you've got older
manuals than binaries, or multiple OpenLDAP installations.

Yes you are right. 2.3.27 version on SuSE has this option missing in
manual, but 2.3.30 on Gentoo Linux have this option in manual. My
mistake on not checking carefully the newer version. Thanks for closing
this issue.
