Im wondering if you could help because im having trouble using Paginator Helper.

I simply can’t sort any column coming from the Ldap Model (people). For example if i click on $this->Paginator->sort(‘givenname’); nothing happens. Other columns, based on Mysql Models works fine.

Any fix or tip?

filters in ldap are a tricky thing, I should update the docs for this to explain this logic. If you think about this, it makes sense. You have to use the equals operator, because it needs to support fuzzy matches.

I’ve run into a problem getting complex conditions to work — it seems that it passes the conditions array to the ldap_search call, which doesn’t work. Here’s an example of the find I’m running:

find(‘all’, array(‘conditions’ => array(‘and’ => array(‘cn’ => $searchCn, ‘objectclass’ => ‘person’)), ‘fields’ => array(‘displayname’), ‘limit’ => 10));

Is there another way to do this, syntax-wise? The filter string that needs to be generated for the actual query looks something like:

‘(&(cn=foo*)(objectclass=person))’

Thanks much for the add-ons and any help!

);

I have to mention that the users are retrived from the LDAP server.
