Bonjour
I am currently using NEt:LDAP.
I am getting stuck in the following case
i am trying to match a phone number
with
...
$correct_filter->parse("(telephonenumber=0711 17-20350)");
my $parsed_filter   =  $correct_filter;

when i print the content of $correct_filter hash i get this 
which is i think normal
equalityMatch for HASH(0x2089f94)
assertionValue >0711 17-20350<
attributeDesc >telephonenumber<

If i change the filter and this is my case i am getting
$correct_filter->parse("(telephonenumber=(0711) 17-20350)");

In this case the filter hash has no assertionValue and so on
thus the search fails

Can you help ?

Merci
Jacques Cornily

Hi Jacques,

Since ( and ) are special in the string representation of search filters,
you will probably have to hex-escape them (ie "\28" for "(" and "\29" for
")") when they're inside an assertion value. See RFC 2254 section 4.

NB the telephone number matching rule ignores spaces and "-"s.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Jacques,

You have to quote the brace inside the filter according to the RFCs.
One possible way is to apply the following expression to all the
values used in the filter before constructing a filter:
  $val =3D~ s/([\x00-\x1F\*\(\)\\])/"\\".unpack("H2",$1)/oge;

So, your filter could then be constructed like
  $correct_filter->parse("(telephonenumber=3D$val)");

how should phone number be compared

[Bing Du <du...@mo...>]

attributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4391.0.101 NAME 'officeTelephonenumber'
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.22 )

========
&connect ldap

$dn = "uid=111, ou=People, dc=tamu, dc=edu";
$localmesg = $ld->compare($dn,attr => 'officeTelephonenumber',value =>
'9798453602');

print "ret code is ",$localmesg->code,"\n";
=======

Result is 'ret code is 18'.  This person's phone number is
indeed 9798453602.

Appreciate any help.
