LDAP Filter for Customers

[pseudoyams]

I have it set up so only customers in a particular Active Directory group can authenticate to the customer portal and that works fine. However, I see many system accounts and groups as well as student accounts that I dont want to be shown when creating a new ticket.

Im looking for a help to accomplish the following....

Only show customers that:

objectClass = person
AND
have an email address
AND
username/email begins with a letter [a-z]

The valid email requirement will filter out systems accounts. All of our user accounts have their email address configured in the object. And all of our student accounts start with a number so that will leave only valid staff.

I appreciate any help.

first part is easy but LDAP does not support regexp queries like [a-z]
something like

Code: Select all

(&(objectclass=person)(mail=*)(|(uid~=a*)(mail~=a*))

Thanks Wolfgang, Ill try that out.

For the last part. If we cant do regexp, do you know if its possible to have multiple BaseDN items configured? That way I could only enter the DNs of faculty.

Thanks.
