Notes on using LDAP Filter Methods with DTML

These notes originate from some email asking Hmm, yes, I can use the ZLDAP filter method with the test menu, but I couldn't find out how can I use it in dtml :-(. My filter method is just: cn=<dtml-var val> (val is the argument). I tried in a dtml document something like:

        <dtml-in expr="LDAPrech('lstep*')">
         <dtml-var name="index">
        </dtml-in>

*But I get an error (Error Type: Bad Request,Error Value: 'val')*

With any pseudo-methods (SQL Methods, LDAP Filter Methods), you have to pass in the arguments by keyword, for example:

Naturally, all attributes are accessible. For example:

Common name: Surname:

All attributes are sequences that can print themselves as a comma-seperated string in DTML. But you can also use <dtml-in>. For example:

would loop over all the values on the "uniqueName" attribute.

According to popular theory anyways :)
