I need to run a single LDAP query that will search through two specific organization units (OU) in the root query however I'm having a tough go of it. I've tried the following queries below and neither were successful:
(|(OU=Staff,DC=my,DC=super,DC=org)(OU=Vendors,DC=my,DC=super,DC=org))
((OU=Staff,DC=my,DC=super,DC=org) | (OU=Vendors,DC=my,DC=super,DC=org))
My question is; is it possible to query more than one single OU in a single query? Assuming that it is what the proper syntax for this type of expression in the root LDAP query.
You can!!! In short use this as the connection string:
ldap://<host>:3268/DC=<my>,DC=<domain>?cn
together with your search filter, e.g.
(&(sAMAccountName={0})(&((objectCategory=person)(objectclass=user)(mail=*)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=CN=<some-special-nested-group>,OU=<ou3>,OU=<ou2>,OU=<ou1>,DC=<dc3>,DC=<dc2>,DC=<dc1>))))
That will search in the so called Global Catalog, that had been available out-of-the-box in our environment.
Instead of the known/common other versions (or combinations thereof) that did NOT work in our environment with multiple OUs:
ldap://<host>/DC=<my>,DC=<domain>
ldap://<host>:389/DC=<my>,DC=<domain> (standard port)
ldap://<host>/OU=<someOU>,DC=<my>,DC=<domain>
ldap://<host>/CN=<someCN>,DC=<my>,DC=<domain>
ldap://<host>/(|(OU=<someOU1>)(OU=<someOU2>)),DC=<my>,DC=<domain> (search filters here shouldn't work at all by definition)
(I am a developer, not an AD/LDAP guru:) Damn I had been searching for this solution everywhere for almost 2 days and almost gave up, getting used to the thought I might have to implement this obviously very common scenario by hand (with Jasperserver/Spring security(/Tomcat)). (So this shall be a reminder if somebody else or me should have this problem again in the future :O) )
Here some other related threads I found during my research that had been mostly of little help:
- the solution hidden in a comment of LarreDo from 2006
- some Microsoft answered question of best practices how to design your organization in the directory, stating using multiple top-level OUs in bigger companies is not unusual or even suitable
- Tim Wong (2011) added that this may be a problem of unresolvable DNS names in the ForestDNSZones (part of the AD top-level domain used)
- example code for implementing it by hand when using Spring security (e.g. also used in Jasper)
- John Morrissey (2012) suggested it could be related to some security settings and it may work if you use TLS (I guess if the LDAP server wants to restrict such global searches for non-secure connections - which would not seem a good (its kind of half-baked) security approach to me)
- awatkins (2012) used some hacking approach in some mod_ldap.c code (of whatever software)
And here I will provide our anonymized Tomcat LDAP config in case it may be helpful

The answer is NO you can't. Why?
Because the LDAP standard describes a LDAP-SEARCH as kind of function with 4 parameters:
- The node where the search should begin, which is a Distinguish Name (DN)
- The attributes you want to be brought back
- The depth of the search (base, one-level, subtree)
- The filter
You are interested in the filter. You've got a summary here (it's provided by Microsoft for Active Directory, it's from a standard). The filter is composed, in a boolean way, by expression of the type Attribute Operator Value.
So the filter you give does not mean anything.
On the theoretical point of view there is ExtensibleMatch that allows buildind filters on the DN path, but it's not supported by Active Directory.
As far as I know, you have to use an attribute in AD to make the distinction for users in the two OUs.
It can be any existing discriminator attribute, or, for example the attribute called OU which is inherited from organizationalPerson class. you can set it (it's not automatic, and will not be maintained if you move the users) with "staff" for some users and "vendors" for others and them use the filter:
(&(objectCategory=person)(|(ou=staff)(ou=vendors)))
It's simple. Just change the port. Use 3268 instead of 389. If your domain name DOMAIN.LOCAL, in search put DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL
Port 3268: This port is used for queries that are specifically targeted for the global catalog. LDAP requests sent to port 3268 can be used to search objects in the entire forest. However, only the attributes marked for replication to the global catalog can be returned.
Port 389: This port is used for requesting information from the Domain Controller. LDAP requests sent to port 389 can be used to search objects only within the global catalog’s home domain. However, the application can possible to obtain all of the attributes searched objects.
I don't think this is possible with AD. The distinguishedName attribute is the only thing I know of that contains the OU piece on which you're trying to search, so you'd need a wildcard to get results for objects under those OUs. Unfortunately, the wildcard character isn't supported on DNs.
If at all possible, I'd really look at doing this in 2 queries using OU=Staff... and OU=Vendors... as the base DNs.
After speaking with an LDAP expert, it's not possible this way. One query can't search more than one DC or OU.
Your options are:
- Run more then 1 query and parse the result.
- Use a filter to find the desired users/objects based off a different attribute like an AD group or by name.
