Thank you all for everything, but I have some more problems:
My current LDAP situation is:

dn: cn=Group A,ou=Groups,ou=testing,dc=example,dc=org
cn: Group A
member: cn=dummy
member: uid=usera,ou=Unit A,ou=Users,ou=testing,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: groupOfNames

dn: cn=Group B,ou=Groups,ou=testing,dc=example,dc=org
cn: Group B
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
uniqueMember: cn=dummy
uniqueMember: uid=userb,ou=Unit B,ou=Users,ou=testing,dc=example,dc=org

And I tried to do a generic search for all groups usera is a member of. (I
searched for all objectClass that could be groupOfUniqueNames, groupOfNames
or posixGroup at the momen).
My search filter is (it's all in one line):
search_filter =
'(|(&(objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames)(uniqueMember=uid=usera*))
(&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(member=uid=usera*))
(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid=usera*)))'

and when I do a search:
 search_groups = lo.search_st(base_dn, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, search_filter)
I got an empty list. Could someon explain me why is that so and how to fix
it. I only want to search for uid.

Also the other thing I want to do is to search
(objectClass=*)&(*member*=uid=usera*). Is that possible ?

Thank you a lot.
Mel
