LDAP search filter for selecting the groups with a particular member

Question

I am trying to devise a search filter to pull the groups with a particular member. This works, in that it pulls all groups:

(&(objectClass=group)(member=*))

But this doesn't, despite when I look at the full group listing, the "member" list contains an entry that matches the expression:

(&(objectClass=group)(member=*MySurname\\, MyForename*))

This even returns no results:

(&(objectClass=group)(member=*MyForename*))

Does anybody know how I might be able to get this working?

Solution

You will need to provide a fully distinguished name for the value of the member attribute.

Something like:

(&(objectClass=group)(member=cn=yourusername,OU=Users,DC=Yourdomain,DC=net))
