I'm trying to do a fairly straightforward query and when I create a search
using my query string directly it works fine but when I pass in a filter
generated using the Filter.create* methods it returns nothing.
So as I've stated if I pass that as a string when creating a SearchRequest
then it correctly returns all computers that are not disabled. However,
when I generate the filter like this:
it returns nothing. The strange thing is that calling either toString() or
even toNormalizedString() returns the same string. However, when I call
the encode method on the generated str vs one created with
Filter.create(str) then the valueBytes are completely different! Can
somebody help me understand what's going on here?

The problem is that "(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)" is not an equality filter. It is an extensible match filter with an attribute type of "userAccountControl", a matching rule ID of "1.2.840.113556.1.4.803", and an assertion value of "2". Rather than using:
Hello,
I'm trying to do a fairly straightforward query and when I create a search
using my query string directly it works fine but when I pass in a filter
generated using the Filter.create* methods it returns nothing.
Here is the query I'm trying to generate:
(&(objectCategory=computer)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))
So as I've stated if I pass that as a string when creating a SearchRequest
then it correctly returns all computers that are not disabled. However,
when I generate the filter like this:
Filter.createANDFilter( Filter.createEqualityFilter("objectCategory", "computer"), Filter.createNOTFilter(Filter.createEqualityFilter("userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:",
"2")))
it returns nothing. The strange thing is that calling either toString() or
even toNormalizedString() returns the same string. However, when I call
the encode method on the generated str vs one created with
Filter.create(str) then the valueBytes are completely different! Can
somebody help me understand what's going on here?

Filter.createExtensibleMatchFilter( "userAccountControl", "1.2.840.113556.1.4.803", false, "2")Neil
