Querying an LDAP Directory

CFLDAP allows you to search an LDAP directory and output the results of your query
on a page. You can sort query results and return them to the browser or perform
further processing with CFOUTPUT, CFREPORT, and related tags.
Search Filters
A search string of the form attribute operator value defines the filter syntax. The default
filter, objectclass=*, returns all entries for the attribute.
The following table lists the filter operators. Note the prefix notation for the Boolean
operators.
