Re: ldapsearch query.

Hi ,

    Thank you so much for the reply.
    With "-s sub", the search will have a deeper scope and return the
entries that match the filter and not **all** the entries under ou=local.
My requirement is to get **all** the entries that are present under the
entries that match the filter "ou=local"( these entries can be more than
one).
    The task can be achieved in a two step process by searching for the
entries that has the ou=local in the first step and then search those
resultant entries as base(-b) for the next search with filter as
"objectclass=*", but I want to make it in a single search. so please let
me know if is this possible.

Please go through the attached file that contains the example(may be clear
this time). I have to retrieve the entries :
"ou=local, ou=payroll,  o=org.co"
"cn=John, ou=local, ou=payroll,  o=org.co"
"ou=local, ou=finance,  o=org.co"
" cn=Tom, ou=local, ou=finance,  o=org.co"
in a single search.

Thank you all for your time.

Regards,
Bandi.
