Problem

You want to match more one or another pattern, in your LDAP search.

Solution

To match more one pattern or another we use the pipe symbol “|” .

Example

This is how to perform a logical OR LDAP search.


ldapsearch -x -v-D"cn=Manager,dc=demo,dc=net"-w secret
-b"dc=demo,dc=net" "(|(sn=Doe)(sn=Smith))"
