While accessing LDAP data , I am continuously receiving the Size Limit Exceeded
error.
One of the solutions presented on google asked for much tighter search Filters.
How is it possible to combine two or more search filters in python LDAP ?
Using the suggested (|(filter1)(filter2))
is producing an error.
Here is the query :
baseDn = "ou=active, ou=employees, ou=people, o=xxxxx.com";
searchScope = ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE
#retrieve Certain attributes
retrieveAttributes = ["manageruid","manager","cn"]
search_query = raw_input("Enter the query :")
#This searchFilter needs to be more specific
searchFilter = "city=" + "Bangalore"
try :
ldap_result_id = l.search(baseDn, searchScope, searchFilter, retrieveAttributes)
result_set = []
while 1:
result_type, result_data = l.result(ldap_result_id, 0)
if(result_data == []):
break
else:
if result_type == ldap.RES_SEARCH_ENTRY:
result_set.append(result_data)
#print result_set
print len(result_set)
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
print e
While trying to combine search filters : This error comes.
File "practice.py", line 33
search_filter = (&("city=Bangalore")("manageruid=278586"))
