LDAP URLs express search requests in URL form. In the directory data
you can find them used as memberURL
attribute values for dynamic groups, for example. The following URL from the
configuration for the administrative backend lets the directory server build
a dynamic group of administrator entries that are children of
cn=Administrators,cn=admin data
.
ldap:///cn=Administrators,cn=admin data??one?(objectclass=*)
The static method LDAPUrl.valueOf()
takes an LDAP
URL string and returns an LDAPUrl
object. You can then use
the LDAPUrl.asSearchRequest()
method to get the
SearchRequest
that you pass to one of the search methods
for the connection.
