LDAP query for returning members of specific groups

Question

Hello all

I need to get some users from LDAP, only those that belong to groups whose names begin with a pattern, something like this

((&objectcategory=user)(memberof=cn=**groupNamePattern_***,OU=distribution,DC=xx,DC=com))

I think it needs to do some sort of sub-query, so that it first retrieves the list of groups that match the pattern, then the users of those groups.

How such query can be expressed?

Answer 1

Why not query for: (cn=**groupNamePattern_***)

with a base of OU=distribution,DC=xx,DC=com

and return the member list.
