Re: NET::LDAP and objectGUID

No responses, but I found a solution. I still don't know why I can't turn around and use the same retrieved data for the filter criteria 100% of the time, but using information from the following:

GUIDs and SIDs

Net::LDAP GUID...

I can now search by the objectGUID 100% of the time in my tests.

sub GuidToString { 
    my $stringGUID = unpack("H*", shift); 
    $stringGUID =~ s/^(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)
+(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)(\w\w)/\\$1\\$2\\$3\\$4\\$5
+\\$6\\$7\\$8\\$9\\$10\\$11\\$12\\$13\\$14\\$15\\$16/; 
    return $stringGUID; 
}

Hi ksublondie, I don't know anything about LDAP GUIDs, but I just wanted to suggest a way to shorten that code. Note that unlike the regex, this works for input strings of any length. `sub GuidToString { return join '', map {"\\$_"} unpack "(H2)*", shift; }` [download] Regards, -- Hauke D	[reply] [d/l]
