ldap search filter problem
Hi.
I have a problem with search filters.
My code is similar to below:
public ArrayList<Object> rootSearch(String BaseDistinguishedName, String searchFilter){
searchFilter = "(uid>= tkiziloren)" ;
ArrayList<Object> myList = new ArrayList<Object>();
// myList.add(BaseDistinguishedName);
Attributes matchAttrs = new BasicAttributes(true);
SearchControls ctls = new SearchControls();
NamingEnumeration answer;
try {
answer = ctx.search(BaseDistinguishedName,searchFilter,ctls);
int i = 0;
while (answer.hasMore()) {
if(i == 100){
return myList;
}
SearchResult sr;
try {
sr = (SearchResult) answer.next();
String name = sr.getName();
myList.add(name);
} catch (NamingException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
i++;
}
} catch (NamingException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return myList;
}
RFC definition says that its OK using "<=" and ">=" operators in search filters. However above code returns nothing.
Its working with other operators like "~=" , "=" by the way. (That is the filter "uid=tkiziloren" is working )
Is my search filter wrong? (I am using openldap.)
Thanks in advance.
