Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Administrator's Guide

The relational operator is included in the value portion of the string, separated from the value by
a single space. For example, to search the directory for all description attributes with a value of
estudiante using the Spanish collation order, use the following filter:
cn:es:== estudiante
4.1.1.3. Using an OID and Suffix for the Matching Rule
As an alternative to using a relational operator-value pair, append a suffix that represents a
specific operator to the OID in the matching rule portion of the filter. Combine the OID and suffix
as follows:
attr: OID+suffix:=value
For example, to search for businessCategory attributes with the value softwareprodukte in
the German collation order, use the following filter:
businessCategory:2.16.840.1.113730.3.3.2.7.1.3:=softwareprodukte
The .3 in the previous example is the equality suffix.
For a list of locales supported by the Directory Server and their associated OIDs, see Table D.1,
“Supported Locales”. For a list of relational operators and their equivalent suffixes, see
Table B.3, “Search Types, Operators, and Suffixes”.
4.1.1.4. Using a Language Tag and Suffix for the Matching Rule
As an alternative to using a relational operator-value pair, append a suffix that represents a
specific operator to the language tag in the matching rule portion of the filter. Combine the
language tag and suffix as follows:
attr: language-tag+suffix:=value
For example, to search for all surnames that come at or after La Salle in the French collation
order, use the following filter:
sn:fr.4:=La Salle
For a list of locales supported by the Directory Server and their associated language tags, see
Table D.1, “Supported Locales”. For a list of relational operators and their equivalent suffixes,
refer to Table B.3, “Search Types, Operators, and Suffixes”.
