The tag returns a ColdFusion query object with the results, which you can use as you would any query result. When you query an LDAP directory, you specify the directory entry where the search starts and the attributes whose values to return. You can specify the search scope and attribute content filtering rules and use other attributes to further control the search. Scope The search scope sets the limits of a search. The default scope is the level below the distinguished name specified in the start attribute. This scope does not include the entry identified by the start attribute. For example, if the start attribute is "ou=support, o=adobe" the level below support is searched. You can restrict a query to the level of the start entry, or extend it to the entire subtree below the start entry. Search filter The search filter syntax has the form attribute operator value. The default filter, objectclass=*, returns all entries in the scope. The following table lists the filter operators: Operator =* = ~= Example (mail=*) (o=adobe) (sn~=Hansen) >= (st>=ma)
