# demo for matched values control (RFC 3876)
#
# suppose the uid=jsmith LDAP entry has two mail attributes:
#
# dn: uid=jsmith,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
# (...)
# mail: jsmith@example.com
# mail: jsmith@example.org
#
# Let's say you want to fetch only the example.org email. Without MV,
# you would first fetch all mail attributes and then filter them further
# on the client. With the MV control, the result can be given to the
# client already filtered.
#
# Sample output:
# $ ./matchedvalues.py
# LDAP filter used: (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=*@example.org))
# Requesting 'mail' attribute back
#
# No matched values control:
# dn: uid=jsmith,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
# mail: jsmith@example.org
# mail: john@example.com
#
# Matched values control: (mail=*@example.org)
# dn: uid=jsmith,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
# mail: jsmith@example.org
