Search Filter problem

[Jeffrey P. C. <jpc...@ya...>]

I'm trying to write an or'd search filter for a list
of uid values something like:

"(|(uid=x)(uid=y)(uid=z))"

This works perfectly with the openldap tools against
the Netscape 4.12 directory but I get a 'Bad filter'
error with Net::LDAP.  It seems to me that this filter
is valid but clearly it's not.  Any ideas as to what's
wrong here?

Thanks.

It's just a guess, but does the polish notation syntax support the '|' (or)
operator with more than two arguments?... or do you have to do it like....

"(|(|(uid=x)(uid=y))(uid=7))"

The above filter is valid.  OR and AND operators act
upon non-empty sets of filters.

This fiter works perfectly with the OpenLDAP tools but
in order to make it work with the Net::LDAP modules I
had to formulate the filter as follows:
"(|(uid=x)|((uid=y)(uid=z)))".  Thanks for the
validity confirmation though because I thought I had
it right the first time.

That's actually an invalid filter,  I assume you meant:
        (|(uid=x)(|(uid=y)(uid=z)))

Yes - sorry.
