[problem]
You want to search for a field greater than a value, in your LDAP search.
[/problem]
[solution]
To search for a field with a value greater than a given figure, we use >=. If you try to just use > it chucks out an error.
[/solution]
[example]
This is how to perform a greater than LDAP search.
ldapsearch -x -v-D"cn=Manager,dc=demo,dc=net"-w secret
-b"dc=demo,dc=net" "(lastlogin>=99999999)"
