Re: Using DN to search

[Todd P. <tc...@mt...>]

Craig,

If you know the DN you can do a base level search with a filter of
objectclass=* (iPlanet/OpenLDAP) to retrieve everything in just that
entry.  If you only want certain attributes you can specify those in an
array.  For example:

    $mesg = $ldap->search(base => $dn, scope => "base",
        filter => "objectclass=*", @attrs);

Hope that helps.
