You have an LDAP entry with an attribute that consists of json entries, and you would like to use ldapsearch to filter on a json item condition.
So having the attribute
mobileIDAuthenticator: {“creationDateTime”:”2023-08-28T14:53:29.061Z”,”state”:”ENABLED”,”mobileNumber”:”+411111111″,”mobileSerialNumber”:”AAAAAAAAAAAAA”}
you would like to filter on the state item.
you can use the following syntax:
ldapsearch -LLL -H "ldaps://domain.com:1636" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w $LDP -o ldif_wrap=no -c -vvvv -b "ou=persons,dc=domain,dc=com" -s sub "(mobileIdAuthenticator=state eq 'ENABLED')" uid mobileIDAuthenticator You have an attribute in LDAP that might be a long line (ie a json array that contains many records like logins for example)
loginHistory: [{"lastLoginDate":"20250107094531.782Z","loginModule":"1"},{"lastLoginDate":"20241202075005.298Z","loginModule":"1"},{"lastLoginDate":"20241129143412.785Z","loginModule":"1"},{"lastLoginDate":"20241129103347.029Z","loginModule":"1"},{"lastLoginDate":"20240920105718.171Z","loginModule":"2"}]
But you want to return it in one line for further processing (ie counting the number of times in a year).
You can use the -o ldif_wrap=no option in your ldapsearch like
ldapsearch -LLL -H "ldaps://ldap.com:1636" -o ldif_wrap=no -D "cn=User" -w $LDP -b "ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com" -s sub "(mail=usernname@domain.com)" uid loginHistory
To return all attributes from LDAP using ldapsearch you can use both “*” for user and “+” for operational attributes
ldapsearch -LLL -H "ldaps://url:1636" -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w $LDP -b "ou=entity,dc=domain,dc=com" -s sub "(&(attr_filter1=SOMETHING)(attr_filter2=ELSE))" "*" "+"
